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

Living with Salem's constant damp and cold mornings means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. cold mornings stiffen rollers and moisture warps wood & seals both feed straight into a garage door sensor blinking, which is why our Marion County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

What might be wrong
