Not sure what they are called, but I'm talking about the

One of these got knocked out of alignment when something
fell against
it. So now, the garage door won't close unless I hold the
button down
while it closes.


I don't know how to align them so they work again. I
have not been
particularly observant as to whether there is supposed to
be a light
showing on both of them, or only one. Right now, there
is a light
only on one side of the door frame.


Anyway, I'd appreciate some advice on how to align these
devices. It
is a 16 foot opening, so laying a board across from one
to the other
is pretty much out.


I put mine on the ceiling, next to the opener and about
one foot
apart. Real easy to get them aligned.


Of course they don't serve their original function, but
who cares?


thats exactly what i did, works like a champ


I suppose you remove all belts, padding and airbags in your cars too.
