Garage door seal — Hollywood, FL

In Hollywood, Florida, garage door sensors can malfunction due to several factors, often exacerbated by our climate. Heavy rain can lead to water intrusion, causing corrosion or short circuits. High humidity can also affect their performance. Dirt and debris accumulating on the sensor lenses is another common issue, blocking the beam. Physical impacts from lawn equipment or accidental bumps can misalign them. The pros who serve this area are experienced in diagnosing these specific problems and ensuring your sensors work correctly.

When a licensed, insured pro arrives at your Hollywood home, they first visually inspect the sensors for any obvious obstructions or damage. They'll clean the sensor lenses to remove dirt or moisture. Next, they'll check if the sensors are properly mounted and aligned. This usually involves looking for a small indicator light on each sensor that signifies a good connection. If the light is off or blinking, they'll manually adjust the sensor's position until the light is solid, indicating a proper beam connection. The specialist you speak with can explain the process.

If your garage door opener is not working correctly, it's a sign your sensors might need attention.
