Probably essentially the most common interrupter gadget is a set of "eyes" which are mounted on the garage door track. They level to one another utilizing an infrared beam. One is a transmitter and the opposite is a receiver. If the receiver can not obtain exactly what the transmitter is delivering then the garage door will stop and generally turn around.
