Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Landover, MD
We tailor garage door sensor installation to Landover's housing and climate. With mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes and hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year, the durable choice is rarely the cheapest part — and we'll explain why.
Local climate is the quiet reason Landover doors fail when they do. Hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year leads to frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers — all of it preventable with the right hardware.
If your Landover door is acting up, it's often swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, and pitted galvanized hardware on older doors. Our techs run a full safety and balance check so a small fix doesn't turn into a repeat visit.
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.
