Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Salisbury, NC
Our Salisbury garage door sensor installation calls cluster around swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.
Climate is half the story for a garage door in Rowan County. Given a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity, Salisbury doors wrestle with salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals.
In our experience around Salisbury, the repairs that come up most are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We'll show you exactly what failed and why before we touch a tool.
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.
