Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Las Animas, CO
Our Las Animas garage door sensor installation calls cluster around loosened hardware from constant expansion and contraction, dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, and noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.
Because Las Animas has a high, dry climate of intense summer heat, sharp overnight cooling, and very little annual precipitation, the doors here age differently than inland or coastal homes elsewhere. The usual culprits are winter cold snaps that stiffen springs and grease, intense UV that embrittles rubber gaskets and bottom seals, and freeze-thaw on cold winter nights that cracks aging seals — exactly what our techs come prepared for.
We've fixed thousands of doors around Bent County, and the pattern holds in Las Animas: loosened hardware from constant expansion and contraction, dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, and noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers. None of it should leave you without a working garage for more than a day.
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.
