In the early 1990's, newly manufactured
garage door openers were required to
have the ability to automatically reverse
upon contact with anything in its path
due to a pressure sensor. Over time,
the garage door parts wear down, and
the
pressure needed to close the door increases.
Trained professionals can adjust your
opener so the proper pressure is applied
without compromising safety.
In addition to this auto-reverse safety
feature, all new openers were required
to
have a photoelectric eye to
sense objects under the door
and reverse the door. These electronic
eyes are located
near the ground on both sides of your
garage door and need a clear
line of sight to operate properly. However,
if improperly installed, your car may
not be completely
inside your garage and the photoelectric
eye may
not recognize. Oftentimes, you may
not realize it until it is too late and
the garage door is ruining your paint
job.
If you are experiencing problems
with either the pressure sensor or
photoelectric eyes, Frank's
Garage Door Service can solve your garage door problems and make
adjustments to obtain the optimum
balance of
function and safety.
