Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Port Lavaca, TX
Port Lavaca garage door sensor installation, done by a crew that works this area daily. We see swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs most often here, and we carry the parts to resolve them on the first visit.
Local climate is the quiet reason Port Lavaca doors fail when they do. Hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year leads to salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware — all of it preventable with the right hardware.
The repair board in Port Lavaca fills up with the same culprits: swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, 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.
