I accidentally kicked off one of my garage door eyes. I turned it back on, but now the door will not operate. I push the button and it moves forward and right back, then the unit clicks a few times. Can anyone help me get this back in working condition. It was with the house when I bought it, and there is no manual, so any help will be appreciated
All you have to do is adjust the eye you kicked so it is in line with the other one. They should both have little lights on them and if I remember correctly, when both lights are on they are adjusted correctly.
The eyes shine a beam across from one to another. The beam has to be lined up exactly or the door will start to close, then reverse itself and stay up/open. Keep adjusting the 'eyes' until they meet. One of them is probably the 'master' and will have a small light on it that shines only when the eyes meet. You may need to adjust how it sits on the rail, probably with a small screwdriver. Most garage door openers will have an online manual. Search for the name of your opener to see if that brand has one online. The 'box' that hangs from the ceiling will have the brand name and possibly model number on it.
