Garage Door Sensor Installation for Addison homeowners means fast dispatch across Addison and the surrounding area. Because of freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, spring damp that rusts unsealed cables and brackets, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, we recommend corrosion-resistant hardware on local garage door sensor installation jobs.
Weather matters more than most Addison homeowners expect. Local conditions — four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes — drive freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, spring damp that rusts unsealed cables and brackets, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, so we recommend hardware and seals suited to West Virginia's continental-climate region.
Across Webster County, the garage door problems we see again and again are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, corroded low brackets from winter slush, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. If that sounds like your door, there's a good chance we can fix it today.
Photo-eye safety sensors are required by UL-325 on every garage door opener manufactured since 1993. They detect obstructions in the door's path and either reverse the door (during close) or refuse to start (when activated). When sensors are misaligned, dirty, sun-blinded, or failed, the door either refuses to close at all or — worse — closes without sensing an obstruction. Our sensor installation service replaces failed sensors, realigns drifted brackets, cleans the eye optics, and verifies auto-reverse on a real obstruction test.
Replacement eyes are brand-specific (LiftMaster has a different connector and signal pattern than Genie). We stock the major brands and most legacy models. Brackets occasionally need replacement when corrosion has degraded them or impact has bent them. Bracket alignment is critical — eyes that are slightly off-aim trigger intermittent close failures that drive homeowners crazy.
Every visit ends with an obstruction test: a 1.5-inch (3.8 cm) tall object placed under the door at three positions across the opening. The door must reverse when it touches the object. This is the UL-325 baseline — if the door doesn't pass, the install isn't complete. We document the test results on the work order.
Photo-eye electronics fail at 10–15 years. Replacement is inexpensive and quick.
