How Garage Door Sensor Systems Work

Garage door sensor systems work by utilizing various types of sensors to detect obstacles in the path of a closing garage door. One common type of sensor is the photoelectric sensor, which uses a beam of light to identify any objects in the way. Another type is the pressure sensor, which detects changes in pressure to determine if there is an obstruction present. These sensors communicate with the garage door opener, informing it to stop or reverse its movement if necessary.

Having these sensors installed on your garage door can prevent accidents and property damage that may occur from a closing garage door. In the next section, we will explore the many benefits of using a garage door sensor system for your home or business.

Benefits of Garage Door Sensor Systems

Garage door sensor systems offer several benefits:

When choosing a garage door sensor system, it’s important to consider these essential safety features to ensure maximum protection for your loved ones and property without compromising convenience or style.

Features to Consider When Choosing a Garage Door Sensor System

One crucial aspect to keep in mind when selecting a garage door sensor system is its range of features. Look for a system that utilizes wireless technology, as this allows for easy installation without the need for complex wiring.

Additionally, consider the battery life of the sensors. Opting for a system with long-lasting batteries ensures that your sensors will remain operational for extended periods without frequent replacements.

When it comes to installing your garage door sensor system, you’ll find that the process is straightforward and hassle-free.

Installation Process for Garage Door Sensor Systems

To install your new garage door sensor system, simply follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the user manual.

For example, after mounting the sensors on either side of your entrance, you can easily pair them with the control panel by pressing a button.

Garage door sensor technology has evolved over time, offering different types of sensors to choose from. Some common options include infrared sensors, which use beams to detect obstacles or movement, and magnetic sensors that sense changes in magnetic fields.

Once installed, these sensors work together to detect any obstruction or movement near your garage door. By understanding how each type of sensor functions and following the installation process correctly, you can ensure that your garage door sensor system operates smoothly.

In the subsequent section about ‘maintenance and troubleshooting tips for garage door sensor systems,’ you will learn how to keep your system functioning optimally without any hassles.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting Tips for Garage Door Sensor Systems

To ensure the optimal performance of your garage door sensor system, regular cleaning and inspection of the sensors is essential. This involves checking for any dirt or debris that may be obstructing the sensors’ functionality.

Additionally, troubleshooting common issues such as false alarms or sensor malfunctions can help identify and resolve any potential problems.

If you encounter more complex issues, it is recommended to seek professional maintenance and repair options to ensure the continued reliability of your garage door sensor system.

Regular cleaning and inspection of sensors

Maintaining a clean and well-inspected sensor system is key to ensuring your garage door operates smoothly. Regular maintenance of your garage door sensors will help prevent common issues and extend the lifespan of your system. Here are three important steps to follow:

Clean the sensors: Use a soft cloth or brush to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may be blocking the sensor’s path. This will ensure accurate readings and prevent false alarms.
Check sensor alignment: Make sure both sensors are properly aligned by visually inspecting them. They should be facing each other directly and there should be no obstructions in their line of sight.
Test the sensors: Activate your garage door opener and observe the sensor lights. If they don’t light up or blink inconsistently, it could indicate a problem with the wiring or alignment.

By regularly cleaning and inspecting your sensors, you can minimize false alarms or malfunctions.

Now let’s move on to troubleshooting common issues such as false alarms or sensor malfunctions.

Troubleshooting common issues such as false alarms or sensor malfunctions

One interesting statistic to note is that false alarms from sensor malfunctions account for approximately 20% of all reported issues with home security systems.

False alarms can be caused by various factors, such as interference from other electronic devices or environmental conditions like extreme temperatures.

To resolve these issues, you can start by checking if there are any obstructions in the sensor’s line of sight or if the sensor is properly aligned.

Additionally, make sure that the sensor’s batteries are fully charged and functioning correctly.

If the problem persists, it may indicate a sensor malfunction, which could require professional assistance to diagnose and repair.

By addressing false alarm causes and resolving sensor malfunctions promptly, you can ensure your garage door sensor system operates smoothly and provides reliable security for your home.

Professional maintenance and repair options

If you’re experiencing persistent issues with your garage door sensor system, it may be time to consider professional maintenance and repair options.

While troubleshooting common problems can often be done on your own, there are times when the expertise of a trained professional is necessary. Professional technicians have undergone extensive training to handle complex issues that may arise with your sensor system. They have the knowledge and experience to diagnose and fix problems quickly and efficiently, ensuring that your garage door operates smoothly and safely.

Additionally, opting for professional maintenance can prevent future malfunctions and extend the lifespan of your sensor system. However, if you’re confident in your DIY skills, there are some minor repairs you can attempt yourself. Just make sure to follow proper safety precautions and refer to manufacturer guidelines for guidance.

Conclusion

The service and the work that was done was exceptional. We needed to replace three very old (and very heavy) garage doors in a home that was built in 1960. There were a number of challenges along the way and each one was met professionally and in a timely manner. Lisa was an excellent communicator and highly responsive. Kevin did an extraordinary job with a fairly involved installation. His 'can do' attitude was very refreshing and reassuring. As noted, the final result was terrific. The pricing was VERY reasonable and very fair. The install was completed two days ago and I have already received compliments from the neighbors!

On Oct. 31 my electric gate stopped working and I called Alpha Gate and Door and talked to Lisa. She was great and based on my symptoms said she thought it was the battery and she would send Kealan out the next day. He came and replaced the battery with a 12 v 55ah battery. I asked him to rehang my reflector light on my neighbors new fence so the motion sensor would work. It had worked fine prior to that being taken down. He did that and it worked for a minute and then stopped. He rewired it and it worked once and he left. The next day I noticed the sensor was not working but I didn’t really care because my dog is too small to trigger it. I was charged $448 -$169 for the service call, $249 for the battery and $30 to rewire the sensor. I work exclusively from home as an attorney and never even use the gate during the week. A few weeks later the gate stopped operation completely and I called on Dec. 6. Lisa said she would send Kealan out. He called me and I said the gate would not open at all, the sensor was not working and the sensor was making a nonstop buzzing noise. He arrived fairly late in the day and I saw him pull into my driveway but he did not come to my door and went straight to the gate. I immediately went out there and I saw when he opened the cover that the battery charger lights were not on. He was in a very bad mood and starting ripping the battery out and said I needed a new battery. I said I guess it was because the battery charger wasn’t plugged in. I was not mad about it because that can happen to anyone. He got really mad at that point, I guess because I knew what had happened. He demanded to know whether I had unplugged it, grabbed a huge battery that would not even fit in my unit, then declared the charger had “allegedly” not been plugged in. As he was trying to force the battery in and was slamming everything around, I asked him if he had a smaller battery. He said no, it was whomever installed my gate opener’s fault because the antenna was on the left and they were usually on the right. He continued to try to force it but could not get the cover on. So he gave up and said he would come back Monday with a smaller battery. I assumed the sensor was not working because the battery had died. I heard nothing from anyone the following Monday and had had it so I called Lisa and yelled and told her the way Kealan had behaved and when was the battery actually going to be installed. She said she would talk to Kealan and I said do you have anybody else who is not a jackass who could come instead. She said she would investigate and call me back. She never called me back and apparently the next day around lunch Kealan snuck onto my property, did not tell me he was there, and put in another battery and texted me the gate was now working. I went outside to try it and the remote was not working at all. I have programmed remotes many times (I have done a lot of products liability work and handled cases with complex machinery failures and deposed a lot of engineers so I am not unfamiliar with this type of equipment) and checked it and the receiver was getting the signal from the transmitter but the control board was not opening the gate.So I called Lisa, explained he had come but not told me he was there, and that the remote was not opening the gate. I also apologized for yelling at her the day before because it was not her fault. She said she would tell him. After that call I remembered there is a reset button on the Patriot control board so I went out and pushed it and that caused the remote to work so I called Lisa and said it was working. The new battery is smaller than the one he had originally put in and retails for about $95. The motion sensor still does not work, I have done jumping jacks in front of of it to know avail. I am not bothering to call again about that because Kealan would probably get really mad again. He does NOT like his competence put into question. You decide if $249 is a fair markup on a $95 battery.

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Company! The entire process was incredibly quick and professional! I spoke with Lisa (she’s amazing and extremely knowledgeable) on Tuesday and she came out Wednesday with a recommendation to replace the gate opener that was faulty and couldn’t handle the weight of my gate. I received the reasonable quote the same day and their technician, Keelan, was at my house on Friday of the SAME WEEK to install. Keelan was just as courteous and professional as Lisa and did an amazing job! The install was perfect and pristine! I’ve tried working with other companies and honestly they are hands down the best! If there were 10 stars available, I would give them 10!
Thank you Alpha team!

Alpha Gate & Door recently replaced our 3-gate system thats used by over 250 residents and visitors on a daily basis.

Terry was excellent in guiding us from the first visit to the final inspection, including his experiences on what to expect and where any likely issues would occur. With a large property, that was critical to avoiding problems that could pop up.

The crews, clean up and invoicing were all done professionally.

We would strongly recommend Alpha Gate & Door for your gate access needs.

Called on a Saturday morning around 0800 and left a message about issue I was having. I received a call back a few minutes later and was ask to send some pictures of the gate.
