Sensors are mounted in/on the door latches.. They mount on the underside of the latch and the pins tend to collect debris and stick.. You can try using some silicone spray ect and spray the latches concentrating on the lower portion of the latch in the jamb.. Open/close the doors and a lot of times the switch will come loose.. Stay away from penetrants since they tend to wash out quickly..
