Bypassing a garage door sensor is generally only done in emergency or temporary situations. Common reasons for bypassing include:
- Faulty Sensors: A malfunctioning sensor can prevent the door from closing properly.
- Interference: Dust, debris, or misalignment can cause the sensor to stop working.
- Maintenance or Repair Needs: You may need to bypass the sensor temporarily to open or close the door while waiting for a repair.
Note: Bypassing the sensor should only be a temporary solution, as continued use without a functional sensor can lead to safety issues.
