I put my sensors above the door. That way I don't kick them any more

One company has developed sensors in the main unit (opener/operator).
No need for sensors, anywhere on the walls. Dogs and children are
protected.

"When purchased with a new Martin door, openers are automatically

I'm biased about this company, purchased and use the door - with an
old opener. I'm happy!
