In Colorado, the high altitude and dramatic temperature swings, from freezing winters to hot summers, can affect garage door sensors. Extreme cold can cause ice and condensation to form on the sensor lenses, obstructing the infrared beam. Conversely, intense sunlight at higher altitudes can sometimes interfere with the sensor's signal. Dust and debris, common in drier climates, can also accumulate on the lenses, requiring regular cleaning.
