Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Alexandria, KY
For garage door sensor installation around Alexandria, the details that matter are local: high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors. Our crews stock corrosion-resistant parts built for exactly those conditions.
Alexandria's weather writes the maintenance schedule. With hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year, doors here face high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.
The short list of what goes wrong on Alexandria garage doors: rusted track hardware and seized rollers, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture. Whatever's on yours, the diagnosis is free on most repairs and the quote is in writing.
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.
