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

In Richmond, the weather is often part of the story behind a garage door sensor blinking. Months of heat and humidity mean humidity corrodes hardware and falling limbs dent panels across Richmond (independent city) — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.

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 Richmond pro

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