While holding the sensors close together and facing each othe click the remote. Photo eyes or safety sensors are mounted to the track on either side of the garage door about 6 inches up from the ground. This is almost always the result of a dirty or obstructed safety feature. Make sure the eye is aligned with the reflector at the opposite side or else the door won t close properly.

You push the button to close the garage door. A garage door that keeps reversing when you attempt to close it with the opener might have a simple problem or a major issue that requires a service professional. If the door doesn t close and the lights don t blink replace the safety sensors.
