Can I align my garage door sensors myself?

While minor adjustments are possible, improper alignment can cause safety failures. A professional technician ensures that your sensors are calibrated correctly and safely.

How do I know if my sensors are misaligned?

Common signs include blinking sensor lights, doors that reverse before closing, or doors that refuse to close at all. If your door is experiencing any of these problems, our technicians can help with your residential garage door sensor alignment in Colorado Springs.

How long does sensor alignment take?

Most residential sensor alignment services take less than 2 hours, depending on the condition of the door and opener system.

Jay and Joe came out to our house and were beyond professional. Even though our garage door was pretty simple (and probably not a huge sale for them), they took our needs and concerns very seriously. They helped us save a ton of money from what other companies had quoted us. The final product was great and we are very pleased.
