Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Grayson, KY
Homeowners across Grayson and the surrounding area call us for garage door sensor installation because we know Grayson. The common drivers locally are rusted track hardware and seized rollers, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity — and we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
If you've owned a garage door through a few Grayson seasons, you know the pattern: a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware brings frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware, and salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore. We size and protect replacements accordingly.
When Grayson doors quit, it's usually rusted track hardware and seized rollers, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity. Our diagnostic isolates the true cause so the fix actually lasts.
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.
