Parts quality and the size or weight of your door also play a role in the total.

About this service

Garage door sensors are the small safety eyes located near the ground that prevent the door from closing on an object or person. If your door reverses suddenly or the lights on the opener are blinking, the sensors might be misaligned or faulty. Fixing this usually involves cleaning lenses, checking wiring, or adjusting the mounting brackets. We get your safety system back in order; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
