Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Addison, TX
Addison garage door sensor installation runs through our shop constantly. Set in Texas's humid subtropical region, these doors meet summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors, and we choose parts that outlast it.
We spec every Addison job for the environment it lives in. Given a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware, the failure modes we plan around are summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors — and we carry the corrosion-resistant parts to match.
The calls we get most in Addison are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. 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.

We size springs and seals for Texas's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
