How quickly can you fix my sensor issues?

We understand how frustrating sensor problems can be—your garage door won't close, and you're left wondering if your home is secure. The good news is that sensor issues are typically among the quickest repairs we perform. In most cases, we can diagnose and fix sensor problems within 30-60 minutes of arriving at your home. Common issues include misaligned sensors (which we can often fix in just 10-15 minutes), dirty sensor lenses, damaged wiring, or sensors that need replacement. We stock the most common sensor types on our service trucks, so if replacement is needed, we can usually complete the job on the spot. For emergency situations, we offer 24/7 service with an average 30-minute response time in the Mashpee and Cape Cod area. If you're experiencing sensor issues, try these quick fixes while waiting for our technician: clean the sensor lenses with a soft cloth, check that nothing is blocking the sensor path, and ensure the sensors are properly aligned (the indicator lights should be solid, not blinking).

What causes sensor issues in garage doors?

Garage door sensors are safety devices required by federal law since 1993. They prevent the door from closing if something (or someone) is in the way. Understanding what causes sensor issues can help you prevent them and know when to call for service. **Common Causes of Sensor Problems:** 1. **Misalignment**: This is the most common issue. Sensors must face each other directly. Even a small bump from a bicycle or lawn equipment can knock them out of alignment. 2. **Dirty Lenses**: Dust, cobwebs, and debris accumulate on the sensor lenses over time. In coastal areas like Cape Cod, salt air can create a film that blocks the infrared beam. 3. **Sun Interference**: Direct sunlight can overwhelm the sensor's infrared receiver, especially during sunrise or sunset when the sun is low. 4. **Wiring Problems**: Frayed, chewed (by rodents), or water-damaged wires can cause intermittent or complete sensor failure. 5. **Moisture and Corrosion**: Cape Cod's humid, salty air can cause corrosion on sensor connections and circuit boards. 6. **Faulty Sensors**: Like any electronic component, sensors can simply wear out over time, typically lasting 10-15 years. We recommend having your sensors inspected during annual maintenance to catch problems before they leave you stuck with a door that won't close.
