Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Commerce, TX
Homeowners across Commerce and the surrounding area call us for garage door sensor installation because we know Commerce. The common drivers locally are rusted track hardware and seized rollers, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors — and we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
The environment around Commerce is unforgiving on hardware. A humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity means high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, so we build every quote around durability.
There's a familiar rhythm to Commerce breakdowns — rusted track hardware and seized rollers, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We've fixed each a thousand times across Hunt County.
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.
