Re: Garage door opener experts, where you at??
 

I took the sensors off the brackets, taped the bitches together(so absolutely NOTHING can break the ------- beam)and wired them up directly to the unit. Sunlight shouldn't have ANY effect on it now. If it fucks up now, it's getting beaten and thrown away because there has to be something wrong with the unit itself. So far so good. :l

just a thought, how clean did the lense of those things look? My folks used to ---- up randomly until we noticed they were dirty as ----.

Re: Garage door opener experts, where you at??
 

I cleaned them to see if that would help and it didn't. :-\ They weren't very dirty anyways. I'm thinking maybe they were going bad or are bad and the beam just wasn't strong enough?? ---- I dunno, it seems to be working now.

they also used to get kicked and miss aligned. just have to bend em back so they'd work better again.

hope the taped together thing works

Re: Garage door opener experts, where you at??
 

You're gonna regret that when you have a dead kid crushed by your garage door :P

Hope it keeps working though.

Re: Garage door opener experts, where you at??
 

If there is a kid in my garage, I could only be so lucky to have the garage door crush the little bastard. :P

They have detectors that will stop the motor if the load gets too big. Either way I don't care. My garage door goes up and down now. :P

how is the sky blue?

Re: Garage door opener experts, where you at??
 

just a question but have you tried readjusting the laser sensors? i had the exact same problem with mine. i would have to hold down the button to get it to go down. turns out that someone accidently hit it and moved the sensor some.
