Regarding the light-beam garage door safety devices: Everyone is making good points about their limitations. A couple of times when I knew things would be dicey, I placed a coffee can in front of the sensor to keep the light beam permanently interrupted to prevent the door from closing. You can't always function that way because it defeats the idea of an automatic opener, but when I knew things would be odd, it was an easy way to keep things safe.
