Quick answer
Replace your Infinity Shield sensor brackets by selecting the correct style for your track clearance, then follow these steps to swap them without misaligning the sensor beam.
Why you might need replacement brackets
The Infinity Shield sensor kit already includes mounting brackets. You only need replacement brackets if you want a different style (standard, short, or long adjustable), need spares, or are installing on a door with unusual track clearance. Each bracket style affects how the sensor sits relative to the garage door track, so choose the one that gives you a clear, unobstructed beam path.
Installation steps
- 1. Remove the old bracket: Unscrew the existing bracket from the garage door track. Keep the sensor attached to the bracket if you're reusing it; otherwise, disconnect the sensor carefully. Common mistake: Forgetting to note which side of the track the bracket was mounted on. Mark it with tape before removal.
- 2. Attach the new bracket to the track: Position your chosen replacement bracket (Standard, Short, or Long Adjustable) on the track so the sensor will face the opposite sensor across the door opening. Tighten the mounting screw firmly but avoid overtightening, which can strip the track threads. Checkpoint: Ensure the bracket is level and the sensor slot faces inward toward the door opening.
- 3. Mount the sensor to the bracket: Slide the Infinity Shield sensor into the bracket's mounting slot until it clicks or sits flush. Adjust the angle if using the Long Adjustable bracket so the sensor beam points directly at the opposite sensor. Common mistake: Misaligning the sensor angle, which can cause intermittent beam breaks. Test alignment by checking the sensor indicator light.
- 4. Test the alignment and function: Close the garage door and activate the opener. Verify the door reverses immediately when an object blocks the beam. If the door doesn't reverse, adjust the bracket position or sensor angle slightly. Empty
