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

Why does this keep happening in Sandy? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing cold and heavy snow takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and high-altitude sun cracks seals — so a garage door sensor blinking is one of the more common calls our Sandy crews run.

What might be wrong

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