The typical process for garage door sensor alignment involves visually inspecting the sensors for any obstructions or damage. The technician will then gently adjust the position of each sensor until their indicator lights are steady and aligned. This ensures the infrared beam between them is unbroken, allowing the garage door to close properly. This is a crucial step for safety and reliable operation.

A garage door bottom seal replacement involves removing the old, worn-out seal from the bottom of the garage door panel and installing a new one, typically made of rubber or vinyl. This new seal creates a tight barrier against the driveway, preventing water, debris, and pests from entering the garage. Proper installation ensures an effective seal against the elements for your Virginia Beach home.

Garage door sensors can fail due to misalignment, physical damage from impacts, or accumulated dirt and debris on their lenses.
