Those little eyes near the floor stop the door on anything in the way. When they drift out of alignment the door simply refuses to close.
We test both sensors, the wiring, and the opener's logic board before quoting the fix, no surprises once we start.

One-year warranty on sensor parts and our labor. Keep our number, we're here if anything feels off.
Across Houston, garage door safety sensors are two small boxes mounted a few inches off the garage floor, one sending an invisible infrared beam, the other receiving it, and the opener refuses to close the door the instant that beam breaks or goes unrecognized. Aura Garage Door Repair Houston sees the same handful of causes on almost every sensor call across our Harris County service area, and Houston’s weather makes a couple of them worse than they’d be elsewhere.
Signs your garage door sensors need attention: a blinking opener light, a door that reverses immediately after you close it, or a door that won’t close at all no matter how many times you press the button. Notice any of that, call Aura Garage Door Repair Houston before you start propping the sensors into place by hand, that’s a safety workaround, not a fix.
Can you fix garage door sensors yourself? Sometimes, a simple lens wipe or a slight nudge solves it. But if the wiring is damaged or the sensor itself is failing, guessing at it just means more trips up and down the driveway. A trained Aura Garage Door Repair Houston technician handles every sensor repair the same careful way. Call us at (713) 581-6335 for garage door sensor repair in Houston, and here’s what happens next.
Most garage door sensor repairs in Houston are finished in well under an hour, sensors and wiring for every major opener brand are already on the truck. If a strained opener or an overdue tune-up turns out to be part of the problem, we’ll walk you through it honestly and handle it in the same visit.
Most openers flash their light a set number of times to tell you what’s wrong, and on most brands, a sensor fault blinks the same pattern every time the door refuses to close. One sensor normally shows a steady yellow light (it’s sending the beam), the other a steady green light (it’s receiving it); if either light is dark, flickering, or the green light won’t hold steady, that’s your sign the beam isn’t getting through clean. Aura Garage Door Repair Houston walks every customer through what their specific opener’s blink pattern means, across Katy, Sugar Land, Pearland, and the rest of Harris County, before we even touch a wrench.
Don’t force the door closed with the wall button held down as a workaround, that bypasses the safety sensors entirely and defeats the reason they’re there in the first place. If a child, pet, or car is ever under a door forced closed this way, the sensors have no way to stop it. Call us for a same-day fix instead.
A blinking opener light, a door that reverses right after closing, or a door that won’t close at all. Notice any of that, call Aura Garage Door Repair Houston before working around it by hand.
Sometimes, a gentle nudge or a lens wipe fixes it. But if the wiring is damaged or a sensor has actually failed, you’re better off calling a technician than guessing at brackets for an hour.
That’s almost always a sensor issue, dirty lenses, a misaligned bracket, or something briefly breaking the beam. Aura Garage Door Repair Houston tests both sensors and the wiring to find the actual cause, not just a guess.
It depends on whether it’s a simple realignment, a wiring repair, or a full sensor replacement. Call Aura Garage Door Repair Houston at (713) 581-6335 and we’ll give you honest pricing after a free inspection.
One sensor shows a steady yellow light sending the beam, the other a steady green light receiving it. A dark or flickering light on either side means the beam isn’t getting through clean.
Blocked or misaligned safety sensors are the most common reason, followed by worn rollers or a track that’s slightly out of line. Aura Garage Door Repair Houston checks all three on every sensor call.
