Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Kentwood, LA
Garage door sensor installation in Kentwood, LA is routine work for us. Local failure modes — rusted track hardware and seized rollers, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors — are exactly what our trucks are stocked for.
Kentwood'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, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.
Across Tangipahoa Parish, the garage door problems we see again and again are rusted track hardware and seized rollers, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, 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.
