Safety Inspection

Photo-eye sensor alignment and a full auto-reverse safety check.

Photo-eye & auto-reverse

The photo-eye sensors near the floor and the auto-reverse feature are what stop a garage door from closing on a child, pet, or car. When they're misaligned or failing, the door may refuse to close or reverse for no reason. East Bay Garage Door Pro inspects and repairs garage door safety systems across the East Bay so the door behaves the way it should.

What's included & when to call

Every safety inspection job starts with a full inspection. Here's what we handle and what to watch for at home.

What this service covers

Parts, fixes, and adjustments our techs handle on-site.

  • Photo-eye sensor alignment and repair
  • Auto-reverse force and travel testing
  • Sensor wiring and connection checks
  • Blinking opener light diagnosis
  • Full door and hardware safety inspection

Signs you need safety inspection

Spot these early. Waiting usually makes the repair costlier.

  • Door won't close, or closes then reopens
  • Opener lights blink and the door reverses
  • Door doesn't reverse when something's under it
  • Sensors are knocked out of alignment
  • You have young kids or pets and want peace of mind

Our process

  1. 1

    Describe what the door is doing. Reversing and blinking lights usually point to the sensors.

  2. 2

    A local tech tests the sensors, wiring, and auto-reverse, then confirms any repair price before work.

  3. 3

    We realign or replace what's needed and verify the door reverses correctly on contact before leaving.

Pricing guidance

A safety inspection is a flat-rate visit. If a sensor or wiring repair is needed, we quote it upfront before doing the work, so the inspection price stays predictable.

Safety note

If your door won't reverse when something is in its path, stop using the opener and keep kids and pets away until it's inspected. A door that won't auto-reverse is a serious hazard.

Safety Inspection FAQ

Why does my door reverse before it closes?
Usually a misaligned or dirty photo-eye sensor, or a force setting that's off. Blinking opener lights are a common clue. We realign and test the sensors to fix it.
How do I know if my auto-reverse works?
With the door open, place a solid object like a roll of paper towels in its path and close it. It should reverse on contact. If it doesn't, book an inspection and stop using the door in the meantime.
Are safety sensors required?
Modern openers include photo-eye sensors and auto-reverse as standard safety features. If yours are bypassed or broken, they should be repaired, especially in homes with kids or pets.
