Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Hazel Park, MI
Our Hazel Park garage door sensor installation crews stay local to Oakland County, so dispatch is fast and follow-up is easy. With four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes in play, we spec parts that hold up here.
Hazel Park, MI 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 Michigan's continental-climate region, because summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware take a steady toll on springs, tracks, and seals.
In our experience around Hazel Park, the repairs that come up most are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We'll show you exactly what failed and why before we touch a tool.
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.
