A blinking garage door sensor in Thousand Oaks 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. Thousand Oaks's coastal salt air and inland heat wears doors down — inland heat strains openers — and we get a clear run of these calls every late-summer heat wave. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.
