Safety sensors that keep the door from closing on people, pets and cars
When the door reverses by itself or will not close, the photo-eye sensors are often the reason. We align, clean and replace them.

Photo-eye sensors sit near the floor on either side of the door and send an invisible beam across the opening. If something breaks the beam, the door reverses. They are a core safety feature of every modern opener.
When a sensor is bumped out of alignment, dirty, shaded by direct sun or has a damaged wire, the door may refuse to close. We diagnose the problem, correct the alignment, repair the wiring and replace failed units. Nashville homeowners are often relieved to learn it is a simple fix.

FAQ
Common questions about safety sensors
Why will my garage door not close?
Misaligned or blocked sensors are a very common cause. Check for debris, cobwebs or a knocked bracket. If the problem persists, call us.
Is it okay to bypass the sensors?
No. They protect people and pets. Please do not disable them.
Do sensors wear out?
They can. Wiring, lenses and electronics may fail over time, and we replace them as needed.
