Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Olympia Heights, FL
In Olympia Heights, every garage door sensor installation starts with the local picture — a hot, humid tropical climate — warm temperatures year-round, heavy rain, salt-laden air, and a long storm season. We choose hardware that survives Florida's tropical climate, not whatever's cheapest on the shelf.
We spec every Olympia Heights job for the environment it lives in. Given a hot, humid tropical climate — warm temperatures year-round, heavy rain, salt-laden air, and a long storm season, the failure modes we plan around are constant humidity that swells wood doors and rusts steel hardware, year-round salt-marine air that corrodes springs, cables, and fasteners, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals — and we carry the corrosion-resistant parts to match.
The calls we get most in Olympia Heights are mildew and rust on shaded, low hardware, corroded springs and cables on salt-air homes, rusted track hardware and seized rollers near the water, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors. Each is something our trucks are stocked to fix on the first visit — no waiting on parts.
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.
