Rated 4.6 out of by Tony Easy to Install Easy to install but would have liked it better if if would have fit the original brackets better. New brackets were to flimsy and didn't fit the sensors well. Also slightly pricey. February 10, 2016
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Lindy Worked on my 1993 Craftsman model just fine! My old 1993 garage system was installed when the house was built. It's an old '93 Craftsman 1/2 HP with the original safety sensors. Just this past week, our garage would open but wouldn't close without holding down the main control. At first I thought it was the remotes, but when my 'homelink' didn't work either in my car, I knew it was something else. After researching and youtubing, I learned it was our safety sensors. Our receiver unit was lit green, but the other one was blank (no light). I found these on HomeDepot, but it said it was not compatible for my model since it was a '93. I read the questions and reviews and noticed a couple others had tried it on their older models, so why not give it a shot. So today, I purchased them at Home Depot and saw that the wires were identical to my existing sensors. I cut out the old sensors and mounting brackets out and spliced the wires together and what do you know. It works like new! At first, I wasn't a fan of the mounting hardware that is included, but it was actually pretty simple to mount to the rails. Got everything lined up, and works better than my old sensors! Very happy customer! I highly recommend these if you need new ones. And don't be afraid if you have an older model. Just look at the wiring and make sure you connect it correctly! February 17, 2016
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Sam Sensors fit fine Installed these on a 1994 Craftsman opener and door. They fit just fine in the original brackets. Only took about 20 minutes. February 17, 2016
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Fred Easy replacement install Purchased to replace failing door sensor. Very easy installation with clip on brackets for sensors and crimp wire connectors. It took longer to remove the old sensors than to install the new ones. Work perfectly. February 17, 2016

The sensors are safety features so the door won't close on someone. When you hold the wall button down it's over riding the sensors, therefore it works when you hold down the button but will not work when you tap it or use the remote. Line up the photo cells so they stop blinking. If they're blinking they think something is in the way...hence not closing. If you can't get them to line up and stop blinking one may be defective. Contact the manufacturer and see if you can purchase a replacement set. They usually aren't too expensive, maybe $20/$40.
No the clickers will only work with openers with sensors.
