Common Symptoms & Warning Signs
If you notice any of these structural failure signs in your Beverly Hills garage, contact our master technicians immediately:
⚠️
Door Starts Down, Then Reverses and Blinks Lights
The opener detects a beam interruption, immediately reversing the door to the fully open position.
⚠️
Must Hold Wall Button Continuously to Close Door
Holding the interior wall button overrides safety sensors in an emergency, confirming optical sensor failure.
⚠️
Flickering or Dead LED on Sensor Eyes
The sending (amber) or receiving (green) LED indicator is unlit, dim, or flickering intermittently.
⚠️
Sunlight Blinding Sensor Optics
Low-angle morning or evening California sunlight shining directly into the receiving lens blinds the sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions (Beverly Hills, CA)
Straightforward answers regarding Safety Photo-Eye Sensor Alignment & Wiring costs, emergency response times, and warranties:
Why is my garage door opener light clicking and flashing 10 times?
Ten flashes indicate that the infrared safety sensors are out of alignment, obstructed, or disconnected.
How high off the floor should safety sensors be mounted?
According to federal UL 325 safety standards, photo-eye sensors must be mounted no higher than 6 inches above the garage floor.
