Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation New Castle, CO
New Castle garage door sensor installation, done by a crew that works this area daily. We see debris-blinded safety sensors, loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, and rusted hardware from repeated snowmelt most often here, and we carry the parts to resolve them on the first visit.
Climate is half the story for a garage door in Garfield County. Given heavy winter snowfall, crisp dry summers, and sharp day-to-night swings driven by altitude, New Castle doors wrestle with freeze-thaw that cracks seals and loosens hardware, wide day-to-night swings that loosen hardware, and deep winter cold that stiffens springs and grease.
Nine out of ten New Castle calls trace back to debris-blinded safety sensors, loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, and rusted hardware from repeated snowmelt. 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.
