A blinking garage door sensor in Boulder almost always means the two photo-eyes aren't seeing each other. It's usually a quick alignment or cleaning.

Living with Boulder's freezing cold and heavy snow means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. ice freezes doors shut and high-altitude sun cracks seals both feed straight into a garage door sensor blinking, which is why our Boulder County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.
