Eye sensors create an invisible beam across the bottom of your garage door. If something breaks the beam, the door stops or reverses to keep you and your family safe.
Both sensors line up and the infrared beam runs clear across the doorway.
With nothing breaking the beam, the opener lets the door close all the way.
Garage door safety sensors are designed to prevent the door from closing when an object, vehicle, pet, or person is detected in the doorway. When the sensors become misaligned, damaged, dirty, or disconnected, the garage door may stop working properly.
The door reverses or won’t close all the way.
Flashing lights usually mean the sensors are misaligned or obstructed.
Dust, dirt, or cobwebs can block the beam and cause issues.
Worn or loose wires can stop your sensors from working.
If the sensors are out of alignment, the beam won’t connect.
Whatever the issue, we’ll find it and fix it fast.
Fast, reliable garage door sensor diagnosis and repair — done right the first time.

Modern garage doors rely on safety sensors to operate correctly and comply with current safety standards. If your garage door eye sensor is malfunctioning, the opener may prevent the door from closing or reverse unexpectedly during operation.
Our technicians inspect the full sensor system, including alignment, wiring, brackets, and opener communication, to identify the issue quickly. In many cases, the problem can be solved with a simple adjustment or rewiring. If the sensors are damaged or outdated, we can recommend replacement options compatible with your existing garage door opener.
GOAT Garage Door services all major garage door brands and provides professional garage door eye sensor install services for both residential and commercial properties throughout Utah.
Garage door eye sensors, also known as photo eye sensors or photoelectric sensors, use an invisible infrared beam positioned near the bottom of the garage door tracks. Much like a pair of watchful eyes, one unit, the sending sensor, projects this invisible beam across the doorway, while the receiving sensor on the opposite side detects it. When the beam is interrupted, the automatic garage door opener stops or reverses the door to prevent accidents and injuries.
Even small alignment issues, loose wiring, dirt buildup on the sensor lens, or direct sunlight interference can cause the sensors to malfunction. Regular garage door maintenance and proper installation help ensure your garage door system operates safely and reliably.
One sensor projects the beam; the other detects it across the doorway.
Break the beam and the opener stops or reverses the door instantly.

working perfectly again.

We remove dirt, dust, and debris blocking the beam.

We test the system to make sure your door closes safely.
We ensure your door meets all safety standards.
Most garage door safety sensors include a small indicator light, usually an LED light, on the sending or receiving unit. A steady green light typically means the sensors are properly aligned and communicating. A blinking or flickering sensor light often points to a sensor issue such as misalignment, dirty lenses, or a wiring problem, while no light at all can indicate a power or circuit board failure. If you notice the light behaving unusually, it’s a good early warning sign to schedule garage door repair before the door stops working altogether.
