Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Uniontown, OH
We tailor garage door sensor installation to Uniontown's housing and climate. With predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences and four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes, the durable choice is rarely the cheapest part — and we'll explain why.
Local climate is the quiet reason Uniontown doors fail when they do. Four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes leads to summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, spring damp that rusts unsealed cables and brackets, and humid summers that seize hinges and rollers — all of it preventable with the right hardware.
If your Uniontown door is acting up, it's often cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. Our techs run a full safety and balance check so a small fix doesn't turn into a repeat visit.
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.
