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

A garage door sensor blinking rarely happens in a vacuum. Plymouth's sub-zero cold wears doors down — freeze-thaw warps tracks — and we get a clear run of these calls every January cold snap. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

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.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Plymouth pro

We realign and clean the sensors, check the wiring, and confirm the door closes without blinking or reversing.
