Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. I have a TD55/RD55 Garage door installed in my home, but I've noticed that it lacks a safety mechanism. The motor continues to operate even if the door encounters an obstruction, which concerns me from a safety standpoint.

I'm seeking advice from the community on whether it's possible to add sensors to this garage door model. These sensors would detect any obstruction and trigger a stop or rollback function to prevent accidents or damage.

If anyone has experience with retrofitting safety sensors to similar garage door models or has any recommendations on how I can enhance the safety of my TD55/RD55 Garage door, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.
 
If there is no specific retrofit package available, one option is infrared or similar optical barrier across the opening, wired in series with the CLOSE control/drive wire.
