Garage doors are equipped with safety features designed to protect people and property, including photo-eye sensors and automatic reversing mechanisms. Regularly testing these features can prevent accidents and injuries.

How to Test the Sensors:

• Stand in the path of the door while it’s closing to ensure the sensors are working. The door should automatically reverse if something is in its path.
• Clean the sensors if they appear dirty, as dirt can block the sensor beams and prevent the door from reversing.

Why It Matters:
The photo-eye sensors and safety reverse mechanism are crucial for preventing accidents, especially if there are children or pets in the area.

How Often:
Test the sensors every 6 months to ensure they are working properly.
