About this service

Safety sensors are required on all modern garage doors to prevent the door from closing on people, pets, or objects. If your door hits the floor and immediately reverses, or if it won't move at all, the sensors are the first thing to check. We test the signal integrity and ensure the mounting hardware is secure so your door operates safely. If they have failed due to age or water damage, we provide replacements.
