Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Smithville, TN
For garage door sensor installation in Smithville, experience with DeKalb County pays off: DeKalb County, Tennessee, takes in Smithville and the communities around it. We know what the area's doors need.
Garage doors in DeKalb County live with a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity. For Smithville that means watching for intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers; we factor it into every repair and every new-door spec.
Smithville homeowners usually call us about one of a few things: swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. We diagnose the real cause — not just the symptom — before quoting a flat rate.
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.
