Professional Garage Door Sensor Repair & Replacement in Houston, TX
Garage door safety sensors (also called photo-eye sensors) are the two small devices mounted near the bottom of the door tracks that prevent the door from closing on people, pets, or objects. When sensors malfunction, your door may refuse to close, reverse unexpectedly, or blink its opener light as a fault indicator. West Bay Garage Doors Texas diagnoses and repairs all types of sensor issues — from simple alignment problems to complete sensor replacement — throughout the Houston area.

Frequently Asked Questions — Garage Door Sensor Repair & Replacement
Why won’t my garage door close — the sensors seem fine?
The most common causes are sensor misalignment (even a fraction of an inch matters), dirty or obstructed sensor lenses, sun glare interference, or damaged sensor wiring. Our technicians systematically check each possible cause.
How do I know if my garage door sensors are working?
Both sensor indicator lights should be lit steady (one green, one amber/orange). If either light is off, blinking, or fluctuating, there’s a sensor issue. The door will typically refuse to close with the button (but may close holding the wall button continuously).
Can I bypass garage door sensors?
While physically possible, bypassing safety sensors is extremely dangerous and potentially illegal. Sensors exist to prevent the door from crushing people, pets, or objects. We recommend proper repair rather than bypass.
How much does sensor replacement cost?
Sensor alignment adjustment typically costs $75–$100. Complete sensor pair replacement costs $100–$175 including parts and labor. We use OEM-quality sensors compatible with all major opener brands.
