Garage Door Opens During The Night

When i awake in the morning it is open.

Garage door opens during the night. Garage doors work on infra red light. Thinking the door is obstructed the opener will perform emergency reverse. Before i go to sleep at night my garage door is closed as it has been since noon. If the door starts down and reverses accompanied by the opener lights flashing and a clicking sound this indicates a safety eye sensor issue.

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. In garage door operators made after 1993 there are required safety features that open the door during the close cycle when they detect something blocking the door. Rays from the sun contain infra red when the sensors get old the sunlight will interfere with the functionality of the sensors.

It has happened four times in the last ten days. Additionally there are some other interesting explanations as to why a garage door may open and close on its own. 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 done with the help of sensors in the motor and on each side of the opening near the floor and mounted on the tracks.

They can help you get everything back in place and ensure your garage door is working smoothly again.
