Sensor for garage door

mike2dotcom
13 years ago

When the sun is at the right angle it will prevent the door from closing. This seems like this always happens when I'm leaving for work. Is there any adjustment or accessories one can use for this problem?

    You can swap the 2 sensors, move them back into the shade or use the cardboard tube inside a roll of toilet tissue to make a shade for the lens.
