    Garage door openers not working over 5 ft away?
    Both my garage door openers will not operate the door unless they are right in front of it. New batteries in remote did not help. Anyone know what the problem could be?

    Have you cleaned the sensors in the door mechanism itself? I learned this the hard, expensive way.

    The repairman also had to do something to adjust the way the signal was sent from the main unit.
