In the world of garage door systems, safety sensors play a bigger role than most homeowners realize. These small but critical devices prevent the door from closing on people, pets, or objects by detecting obstructions in its path. Whether your sensor is out of alignment, showing blinking lights, or simply not responding, it’s not something to ignore.
That’s where we come in. At Dan’s Garage Door Services, we provide expert garage door sensor installation and repair in King County. From quick diagnostics to full replacements, we make sure your automatic door stays safe, smart, and fully functional—because you’ve got better things to worry about than a door that won’t close.
Why Garage Door Safety Sensors Matter
Your garage door is one of the heaviest moving parts in your home—and one of the most used. The safety sensors installed near the floor on either side of your garage door are your first line of defense against serious accidents. When these sensors detect anything in the door’s path, they instantly signal the opener to stop or reverse.
Here’s why these sensors are a must for any modern garage:
- Prevent Injury: Avoid damage to vehicles, belongings, or worse—people or pets.
- Ensure Compliance: Many state and local building codes require safety sensors for automatic garage doors.
- Protect Your Opener: When the sensors function properly, they reduce strain on your garage door opener and motor.
If the sensors fail, your door might slam shut or refuse to close entirely—putting your home’s safety and your daily routine at risk.
Common Signs Your Garage Door Sensors Need Repair
How do you know it’s time to call in for garage door sensor repair? Sensors are surprisingly sensitive, and a range of garage door issues can stem from something as small as a misalignment or loose connection.
🔧 Here are common signs something’s off with your door sensors:
- The door begins to close but reverses immediately
- One or both sensor lights are blinking or off completely
- Your garage door only closes when you hold down the wall button
- A visible error light or flashing pattern on the garage door opener
- The door gets stuck halfway down with no obvious blockage
Most of these issues can be resolved quickly with a trained technician who knows how to inspect, reset, or replace faulty garage sensors. The sooner you address the problem, the more you prevent unnecessary wear and tear on your garage door system.
