Because of the torsion spring’s extreme tension it should only be repaired or replaced by a qualified professional. Please do not attempt to repair or replace a spring on your own!

Why aren’t my garage door safety eye sensors working?

To ensure that your garage door closes properly, photo-eye sensors need to be aligned correctly. If the sensors are out of alignment, it may result in your garage door not closing. Also, if the lens of the photo eyes becomes dirty or obstructed, this can impact operation. A flashing photo eye is an indication that there is an obstruction or alignment issue. Remove any obstruction or debris, and adjust the photo-eye to allow your door to properly operate. It is important to keep your garage door sensors in good working condition as they are essential to keep the garage door from closing if an object passes through the infrared beams.
