Garage Door Opens During The Night

Garage doors work on infra red light.

Garage door opens during the night.

This is done with the help of sensors in the motor and on each side of the opening near the floor and mounted on the tracks. Before i go to sleep at night my garage door is closed as it has been since noon. If you suspect misaligned sensors may be the reason for your garage door opener that opens on its own you should have a garage door technician come out and take a look. If the door starts down and reverses accompanied by the opener lights flashing and a clicking sound this indicates a safety eye sensor issue.

It has happened four times in the last ten days. When i awake in the morning it is open. They can help you get everything back in place and ensure your garage door is working smoothly again. Garage doors operate as a system and several things could cause your door to not close in the morning but will close at night.

This is usually a sign that the remote is defective or that the batteries are wearing out. The remote could be sending out random signals. Rays from the sun contain infra red when the sensors get old the sunlight will interfere with the functionality of the sensors. Thinking the door is obstructed the opener will perform emergency reverse.

If your garage door won t close during the day but works at night it is most likely a sensor issue.
