The one-minute check that usually ends here
Start at the two units near the floor on each side: each should hold a steady light. Lehi winters add a local twist — lens condensation and frost cut the beam exactly like dirt does, so a dry cloth is step one. Wipe both lenses, then loosen the bracket wing nut, swing the sensor until its light steadies on its partner, and snug it back down.
If the light still will not hold, the fault moves to wiring — stapled, chewed or pulled bell wire on the run back to the opener — and that is where the $125–$300 call earns itself.

How much does garage door sensor repair cost in Lehi?
Real sensor or wiring work runs $125–$300 in Lehi — but wipe the lenses and re-aim the brackets first, because those free fixes close most sensor tickets before they open.
Can I bypass the sensors to make the door close?
Never. Defeating them removes the door's only automatic reversal, mandatory since 1993, and it converts a nuisance into a hazard. The door is telling you something specific — around Lehi it is most often a bracket out of aim or winter film on a lens.
