  • You, my good sir, are a wizard!!! I couldn't figure it out and thought it was a programming or wiring issue since I would have to hold down the switch to close the garage door. Saved me time, money, and a heavy load of disappointment! Simple fix, video goes step by step and gives detailed instructions and explanations, audio and video quality were great. My first impression was completely wrong about you and I apologize for judging you by the first 15 seconds in your video. Therefore I destroyed the like button and subscribed! Greatly appreciated 🙏🏽👍🏽
  • Thanks, Mike, for this very well-laid-out video on garage door issues. I watched the video completely through last night and then particular segments this morning. I went to the garage about 11 am and took on the challenge and within an hour, had the door operating like new. For a 73-year-old, totally disabled man, with your instructions, I felt like a young man doing a weekend project. Yea!!!

    THANK YOU!!!!! We cleaned the sensers and it still didn't go down. Then, I simply moved one a tiny bit upwards, and Voila! Tighten the wing nut and no serviceman or $$$ needed. You are the Best!!
  • You’re a Godsend Mike! I was getting frustrated trying to figure it out by myself; but after watching your video I fixed it within minutes! You’re amazing! Thank you so much!
  • Mike, Thank you so much. Your clarity and description of the sensor problem was all new to me. In my case , the visual blockage to the other sensor was resulting from a spider web array on the sensor and a slight adjustment of the wing nut. Wow! It all worked 1,2,3. Thanks Again. Five minutes and a problem that I have been experiencing for several months was solved.

    I have been dealing with this issue for about a month or so...so glad that I came across your video. Such an easy fix!!!! Thank you!!

    😢 Thank you so much for this. You saved me from paying $$$ to have someone come out to troubleshoot/fix the issue. As a single woman who knows very little about home repairs, videos such as yours gives me more confidence when it comes to repairing small things myself. My sensor was knocked out of place and was not pointed towards the other and I lined it up just as you showed and voilà the door started working. Thank you so much. I’m definitely subscribing.

    I’ve been so stressed not knowing what was wrong with this door! Thank you! Simple yet very useful tips just saved me hundreds of dollars.
  • @lisav3980
    This was the exact issue with my garage door, and your advice was right on target! Problem solved. Thanks much, Mike.
  • Thank you. We never knew how to fix this problem. We have paid a lot of money over the years to have this same problem fixed repeatedly and you just explained it and it was so fast and easy and you made it so understandable.
  • @davidquerry8869
    Short, easy to understand, and straight to the point, and solved my problem. You just saved me $200.00. THANK YOU.
  • Loved it, it took me 5.05 minutes (your video duration) + 1 minute to fix my garage door issue :). Amazing video! Thank you for posting it!!
  • Perfect advice! I was having the same issue. And while I thought it might be the sensors , and even cleaned the glass, I didn't think about the alignment. Thank you so much! You saved me some bucks.
  • Thank you so much! My fiancé and I just closed on a house two days ago. I woke up this morning and this happened. You’re a life saver!
  • @toferj7441
    This was ABSOLUTELY the problem my door was having. Thank you for showing me how to fix it!! Woohoo! 😁👍🏼
  • @DomallsKush24
    Great simple video. I love when the repair is that easy. Thank you
  • Been living with this unclosing garage for days. All fixed with your info. You’re an angel for posting. Thank you!!!!!!!!
  • @Guinness757
    Thank you! You solved my problem. My garage door would not fully close; it kept reversing open. Thanks to your video, I realised that the morning bright sunshine was hitting one of the sensors. Only happens seasonally when the morning sun comes from the northeast direction; the rest of the day the north-facing garage is in shade. What a relief!
  • Thank you!!! I've been screwing with my garage door for two days and you fixed it in five minutes and six seconds! I ordered new sensors yesterday but they weren't bad, just not aligned. OUTSTANDING!!!!!
  • @goodsbys0120
    Sir!!! This is a top notch video!!! You explained it in more simple terms than just "Line up the sensors." I never paid attention to the lights before!!!
