Garage door sensors are neat things. They send an invisible beam to each other across the garage door opening. If an object of thing breaks the beam, they won't let the door shut. Cooler yet is that if the door is in the motion of closing and something breaks the beam, the door opener will stop and reverse and lift the door back up. This a very neat feature which keeps kids, pets, and other object safe from a heavy garage door.
The truth is that these little sensors are very cheap and easy to replace. Most of the times these little devices get sheared off by a car tire, get damage by things in the garage, or just break. The easiest way to get new ones is to go to your local hardware store, such as a Lowes or Home Depot. You don't need sensor cables as you can easily re-use the existing ones in your garage that are attached to your broken devices. Once you have the new sensors, simple replace the existing ones by mounting them onto the door track and then connecting the wires.

These devices have little lights on them that tell you if they are receiving the beam or not. The light will illuminate green if the beam is receiving between the two sensors. If the light is red or orange, then you need to adjust your placement of the sensor to pick up the beam to work properly.
We hope this article helps you with your efforts to keep your family and garage safe!
