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

There's a local angle to a garage door sensor blinking in Cincinnati: the area's freezing winters is hard on garage doors — cold snaps brittle springs, and summer storms surge openers. Our Cincinnati techs see these failures spike around every January cold snap, so they track down the real cause instead of masking the symptom.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door sensor blinking

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

Misalignment
A bumped bracket throws the sensors out of line and they start blinking.
Dirt or sun glare on the lens
A dusty lens or direct sun can break the beam.
A damaged sensor wire
A pinched or chewed wire interrupts the signal.
