No matter if it is a garage door in Miami, or garage door repair in Plantation FL, every opener installation in Boca Raton should include safety feature which protect someone, something or even the door itself from breaking or injuring someone in case the closing door hit them.
The most popular safety feature you can find in residential garage doors in Florida is the laser safety sensors.

The door may work fine without them, but it is not safe, since every automated garage door in Boca Raton should include safety sensors.
How the safety sensors work?
The garage door safety sensors have no part in operating of the garage door, but have a big part in the safe use of the door. And that works for every garage door whether it is a garage door in Florida, a garage door in FL or anywhere else. If something blocking the door’s path, like a car, pet, or a person, it will block the invisible laser beam between the 2 sensors at the same time the door is going down and closing, the garage door will stop its movement and reverse to open position. If you live in Boca Raton and there are no safety sensors installed in your garage, please contact a local garage door company in Boca Raton to come and install safety sensors for you.
