I was called out to a customer in Draper, UT for a full service and tune up on his garages. I provided the usual full inspection of both his garage door and opener and noticed several little problems that could be headaches in the future.
One of those issues was how the sensors were installed. Typically installers will twist the wires together and wrap them in electrical tape, even then it could create condensation or the wire will become brittle and fall off losing connection. When a sensor isn't able to function properly it will not close. This typically happens when you are in a rush to be at that important meeting, picking up the in-laws from the airport, kids graduation, or date night with the wife.
During your bi-annual inspection of your garage door and opener be sure to check the sensor connection. If they are installed incorrectly connect them with gel connectors to ensure the connection is properly connected and protected from the elements. I would be happy to help you.
