Garage Door Sensor Installation Alexandria Bay, NY
Alexandria Bay's garage door sensor installation jobs land on our schedule daily. The housing here is predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, and we size every fix to match it rather than forcing a one-size part.
Alexandria Bay, NY is shaped by four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes. We've learned which parts last in New York's continental-climate region, because spring damp that rusts unsealed cables and brackets, wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, and cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor take a steady toll on springs, tracks, and seals.
Nine out of ten Alexandria Bay calls trace back to loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings, corroded low brackets from winter slush, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. We pinpoint which one it is before quoting a cent.
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.
