Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Moab, UT
Moab's garage door sensor installation jobs land on our schedule daily. The housing here is mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, and we size every fix to match it rather than forcing a one-size part.
Because Moab has dry conditions year-round with big seasonal swings — scorching summers, cold winters, and frequent wind-driven dust, the doors here age differently than inland or coastal homes elsewhere. The usual culprits are rapid day-to-night temperature swings that loosen hardware over time, low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, and fine wind-borne dust that grinds down track rollers — exactly what our techs come prepared for.
We've fixed thousands of doors around Grand County, and the pattern holds in Moab: noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers, dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors, cold-snapped springs after hard winter freezes, and faded, sun-baked panel finishes on exposed doors. None of it should leave you without a working garage for more than a day.
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.
