Common questions
Why are my garage door sensors not working?
Your garage door sensors might not be working because they are dirty or misaligned. Debris, dust, or even moisture from Maryland's humidity can block the infrared beam. We can clean them and ensure they are perfectly aligned for reliable operation.
What is the most common garage door repair?
The most common garage door repair involves the opener or its components. This often includes issues with the safety sensors. Problems with springs or cables are also frequent. We see many sensor issues, especially with the humid climate in Baltimore.
How do I know if my garage door sensors are bad?
If your garage door won't close completely and reverses, your sensors are likely the problem. A blinking light on the opener motor usually indicates a sensor issue. This is common in the Baltimore area. We can quickly diagnose if your sensors need adjustment or replacement.
Can I fix garage door sensors myself?
You can try cleaning and realigning your garage door sensors. However, if the problem persists, it might be an electrical issue or a faulty sensor. It's best to have a professional in Maryland check them. We can ensure they are properly calibrated.
What is the most common problem with garage doors?
