Federal law require every motorized garage door to include a safety feature, which will protect and prevent the moving garage door from hurting someone or something which is located at the garage door’s path. If you own an automated garage door, make sure that it is equipped with safety features such as the garage door safety sensors. The safety sensors The safety sensors are installed on each side of the garage door, next to or on the tracks, and no higher than 6 inches from the floor (to protect pets or small objects). The safety sensors should be installed facing each other, and if something will interrupt the invisible laser beam which runs between the two sensors, the closing door will stop it moving and reverse to open position, and by that protect and avoid hurting the object which interrupts with the laser beam. Safety sensors installation As we mentioned earlier, every automated garage door must include a safety feature. Under no circumstances, you should disable or remove the safety sensors, unless if it is for repair or replacement. Make sure that the safety sensors are installed correctly, and that the wiring is not damaged and well connected. If you fail to perform a correct installation, you will not be able to close the garage door using the garage door motor, and you won’t be able to use the door automatically. Safety sensors troubleshooting Every automated garage door should include a reversing safety feature. When something interrupting the invisible laser beam between the sensors, the motor will partly close the door, and during the movement will reverse itself to open position, followed by flickering light which signaling you that something is wrong. If you own a motorized garage door in Fresno, and you are unable to close the garage door using the motor, it may be due to many reasons, and one of them is the garage door sensors. If this is the case, and the reason for the problem is the safety sensors, you should be able to close the garage door by holding the pushbutton pressed till the door closes. You should check the sensors to make sure that no one accidentally moved one of them, so they are not facing each other anymore, or if there is some dirt or dust on the sensors, which block the beam, or if the wire is disconnected or cut, or even a water damage which damaged the sensors and prevents them from fulfilling their job.
