Homeowners across Cloverdale and the surrounding Garden City area call us for garage door sensor installation because we know Garden City. The common drivers locally are pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors — and we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Weather matters more than most Garden City homeowners expect. Local conditions — hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year — drive damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, so we recommend hardware and seals suited to Georgia's humid subtropical region.
Across Chatham 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 bottom brackets on damp slabs, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. 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.
Photo-eye electronics fail at 10–15 years. Replacement is inexpensive and quick.
