Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Hendersonville, NC
Hendersonville's garage door sensor installation jobs land on our schedule daily. The housing here is mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, and we size every fix to match it rather than forcing a one-size part.
Local climate is the quiet reason Hendersonville doors fail when they do. A humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity leads to summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air — all of it preventable with the right hardware.
The repair board in Hendersonville fills up with the same culprits: swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, and rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs. Each is a one-visit fix with parts already on the truck.
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.
