Garage door sensors in Waukegan work by emitting an invisible infrared beam; if this beam is broken, the door will reverse to prevent accidents. You'll likely need repairs if the door won't close completely, reverses unexpectedly, or if the indicator lights on the sensors are flashing. Common issues include obstructions, dirt, or misalignment of the sensors. Sometimes, the sensors themselves may be faulty and require replacement.
