Garage door sensors are engineered to detect obstacles in the path of the door, preventing accidents and ensuring user safety. They comprise two main types: safety sensors and motion sensors. Safety sensors are installed near the floor on either side of the door and communicate using infrared light. When the light beam is interrupted—say, by a child or an object in the doorway—the sensor sends a signal to the garage door opener to stop and reverse the door's direction. Meanwhile, motion sensors, often found in more advanced systems, detect movements within the garage itself, providing an additional layer of security and convenience.
At Gateway Garage Door Services, we prioritize the installation and maintenance of these sensors to the highest standards. Precision in sensor functionality hinges on their alignment and cleanliness, as even slight misalignments or the accumulation of dirt can disrupt their operation. Our team of expert technicians undergo rigorous training to ensure that when we service your garage door, we're not just fixing a problem, but optimizing the entire system for peak performance.
One common issue our customers face is misaligned sensors, usually indicated by a blinking garage door opener light. Our approach to resolving such issues is methodical. First, we inspect the sensor alignment and ensure that the units are correctly facing each other. If realignment is necessary, we adjust the sensors until they are perfectly aligned. We also clean the sensors carefully to remove any obstruction that could hinder their operation. This attention to detail sets us apart and is a testament to our commitment to safety and precision.
The installation of high-quality sensors is another hallmark of Gateway Garage Door Services. We only use products from reputable manufacturers known for their durability and reliability. This choice ensures that the sensors not only function effectively but also last longer, giving you peace of mind.
In addition to equipment quality, we emphasize educating our customers about sensor maintenance. Regular checks can prevent sensor failure and extend the life of your garage door system. We recommend periodically wiping the sensor lenses with a soft cloth and checking their alignment to ensure that everything stays in top working order. By providing these tips, we empower our customers to be proactive in maintaining their garage doors.
