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>

What can I do about a gap under my garage door?

• <div><p>If you have a gap under your garage door, it may be caused by an uneven garage floor. Repairing the concrete under the floor may level out the surface enough to fix gaps. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/replace-garage-door-weather-stripping.htm">replace the garage door weather stripping</a> or adjust the closing position of the door to see if that remedies your issue. Otherwise, call a garage door repair specialist to inspect the door.</p></div>

How long does a paint job on a garage door last?

• <div><p>The life span of a newly painted garage door depends on the quality of your paint, the material of the door, and the climate you live in. If you’re confident that you’ll maintain the door as best you can, you can expect the job to last between 5 and 10 years.</p></div>

Very pleased! Polite and professional. Came out same day we called. Re-keyed several doors for us, adjusted a door where the latch wasn't catching properly, and drilled holes for us to add a deadbolt to a door. Fair prices. Highly recommend.
