Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Kure Beach, NC

Booked garage door sensor installation in Kure Beach, NC? Expect a tech who actually works New Hanover County: fast dispatch, an honest diagnosis, and parts on the truck for pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture.

Kure Beach's weather writes the maintenance schedule. With a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware, doors here face high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, and damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.

Across New Hanover County, the garage door problems we see again and again are pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture. If that sounds like your door, there's a good chance we can fix it today.

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.
