<DIV>LOTS of great suggestions, unfortunately most still won’t work in </DIV>
<DIV>my situation. However, I am considering outdoor mounted
sensors.</DIV>
<DIV>This could address all my concerns IF I can find weatherproof sensors
</DIV>
<DIV>that are unobtrusive to work outside. My lifts are LiftMaster
Jackshaft </DIV>
<DIV>design (love the space saving and very quiet operation.</DIV>
<DIV>The search is on........off to my garage door people; seeing Steve Leckenby

things have changed in recent years, these things cannot just be swapped from
brand to brand, model to model. The problem with attaching them to the
front of the track is the door itself will trip the beam and reverse when
closing. The only way I could imagine that working would be if the sensors
were mounted completely outside the garage. That leaves them out in the
weather, which they are not designed for, and you are back to the issues with
leaves and such. If you live where it snows, that will be another
problem. <BR><BR>-Steve<BR><BR>At 08:37 AM 2/3/2017, Ian McFetridge

attached to the front of the track (edge facing outside)? These are
much smaller than what I have (I had to build a little wood house around my
sensor because the kids (5 year olds) kept knocking them out of
alignment). <BR><A
