How do garage door sensors work?

• <div><p>Garage door sensors work by using infrared beams to detect objects in the door’s path. One sensor sends a beam while the other receives it. When the beam is broken—say, by your car or anything else—the sensors signal the door to stop or reverse. It’s all about safety and making sure nothing gets trapped under the door. If they’re misaligned, the beam doesn’t connect, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-does-garage-door-opener-work.htm">the garage door might stay open</a> or close regardless of obstructions. </p></div>

Q: How can I make my garage door safe?

• <div><p>Garage doors are heavy and close under power, so ensuring they're safe should be one of the priorities of a homeowner. Installing at least one sensor is a good start, but it doesn't hurt to have two, especially considering you can install a secondary system for <b>less than $100</b>. Remember that sensors require calibration and simple but regular maintenance checks&mdash; installing them is only the first step.</p></div>

Q: Do new garage doors come with tracks?

• <div><p>Most garage doors come with their own set of tracks and rollers from the manufacturer, so you don&rsquo;t need to buy tracks separately.</p></div>

Q: How can a new garage add value to my home?

• <div><p>Provides additional space and enhances property appeal, potentially increasing resale value.</p></div>

Q: How do you maintain an epoxy garage floor?

• <div><p>To properly maintain an epoxy garage floor, regularly sweep up dirt and debris using a broom and dustpan or a vacuum cleaner. Mop with warm water and scrub away stains using a mild cleaning solution that's safe for the epoxy product you have installed. Don't use any soap-based or chemical cleaners, as these can cause the epoxy surface to deteriorate more rapidly. </p></div>
