Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Wyboo, SC
Garage door sensor installation in Wyboo, SC is routine work for us. Local failure modes — degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms — are exactly what our trucks are stocked for.
If you've owned a garage door through a few Wyboo seasons, you know the pattern: a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity brings frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, and damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time. We size and protect replacements accordingly.
Garage doors in Wyboo tend to fail in predictable ways — degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. Catching them early during a tune-up usually costs a fraction of an emergency call.
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.
