Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Hartwell, GA
Garage door sensor installation in Hartwell, GA is routine work for us. Local failure modes — degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms — are exactly what our trucks are stocked for.
Hartwell sits in Georgia's humid subtropical region — hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year. That puts real stress on garage door hardware: we routinely see frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, and high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, and we fit parts rated to handle it.
Across Hartwell and the surrounding area, what brings Hartwell homeowners to us is degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms — and we resolve it without a second visit.
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.
