Garage Door Sensor Replacement St. Cloud
HOW GARAGE
DOOR SENSORS WORK
Safety sensors use an infrared beam between two photo eyes mounted on each side of your door. When the beam is broken, the door stops closing to prevent injuries and damage. Federal law requires these sensors on all openers made after 1993. Proper alignment and clean lenses ensure the system works correctly every time.
Most sensor problems come from physical bumps, vibration over time, or dirt blocking the infrared beam. Minnesota’s temperature swings cause mounting brackets to shift slightly. Wiring damage from moisture, pests, or age also causes sensor failure. These sensors are critical safety features that prevent injuries and property damage. Even a small misalignment needs fixed.
WHY SENSORS FAIL OR MISALIGN
SIGNS YOUR SENSORS ARE FAILING
Door refuses to close or reverses immediately after starting. Blinking lights on the sensor units indicate misalignment or wiring issues. Door closes only when you hold the wall button down continuously. Intermittent operation where the door works sometimes but not others means sensors need attention before complete failure.

Absolutely. We work year-round in all weather conditions. Cold weather can actually cause sensor brackets to contract and shift out of alignment.
We’re experienced with winter sensor issues and will get your door closing properly even during storms and sub-zero temperatures.
Basic troubleshooting like wiping dirt off the sensor lenses or checking for obvious obstructions can be done yourself.
However, sensor alignment requires getting both photo eyes perfectly level and aimed at each other so the infrared beam connects properly.
Diagnosing wiring problems involves tracing electrical connections and testing for breaks or shorts in the wire run.
Damaged sensor housings or internal components need complete replacement.
Without proper diagnosis, you might replace working sensors when the real issue is faulty wiring, or think it’s just alignment when the sensors themselves are damaged.
