Call (281) 906-4783Common sensor problems we fix in Cypress include misalignment (sensors knocked out of position), dirty lenses (dust and cobweb buildup), wiring issues (damaged, loose, or corroded connections), sun interference (direct sunlight overwhelming the infrared beam), and failed sensors requiring replacement. Our technicians carry replacement sensors for all major opener brands and can upgrade older systems to current safety standards.
Sensor repair in Cypress typically costs $85-$175 depending on whether the sensors need alignment, rewiring, or full replacement. Sensor alignment and cleaning is on the lower end, while full sensor pair replacement with new wiring runs higher. All repairs include a safety test to verify proper operation. Every garage door opener manufactured after 1993 is required to have safety sensors—if yours aren't working, get them fixed immediately. Call (281) 906-4783.
A blinking sensor light usually indicates misalignment—the two sensors can't 'see' each other across the door opening. Other causes include dirty lenses, loose wiring, direct sunlight interference, or a failed sensor. Our technicians diagnose the exact cause and fix it quickly.
We strongly advise against bypassing safety sensors. They prevent the door from closing on children, pets, and vehicles—a critical safety feature. Bypassing sensors violates building codes and creates serious liability. If sensors are annoying you, the proper fix is repair, not bypass.
Signs of faulty sensors: door won't close (motor runs then reverses), opener lights flash when you try to close, one sensor light is off or blinking, door reverses for no visible reason, sensors are visibly damaged or loose. We offer free diagnostic evaluations.
