I recently bought a new home with garage door openers. They function
properly, and they have an "automatic reverse" if they bump something.
I'd like to retrofit them with an "Electric Eye" so they if something
or someone passes inderneath them. I'd also like to adjust the reverse
function so that they will reverse on a softer bump than they currently
do.

Is this possible?


The auto-reverse is or should be adjustable; Google for the manufacturer's
site and you might find a manual. If it is not or if you can't find the
manual, get new openers.

As for the infrared sensors, why would you bother if yours don't have them?
They get blinded by the sun, or covered with snow, leaves or spiders. If
that doesn't happen, then the kids will kick something into them that puts
them out of alignment. That last one is easily fixed, but again, why bother
with them if you don't have to? If the auto-reverse is adjusted properly,
there is no need for these things.
