Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation McCleary, WA
Booked garage door sensor installation in McCleary, WA? Expect a tech who actually works Grays Harbor County: fast dispatch, an honest diagnosis, and parts on the truck for moisture-faulted openers and sensors, rusted bottom brackets in the persistently wet climate, corroded tracks and rollers near the coast, and fastener rot loosening the door assembly.
If you've owned a garage door through a few McCleary seasons, you know the pattern: a temperate Pacific climate of damp winters, cool summers, and near-constant moisture in the air brings year-round moisture that never lets metal fully dry, salt-laden onshore wind that corrodes springs and cables, and heavy rainfall and fog that rust steel hardware fast. We size and protect replacements accordingly.
When McCleary doors quit, it's usually moisture-faulted openers and sensors, rusted bottom brackets in the persistently wet climate, corroded tracks and rollers near the coast, and fastener rot loosening the door assembly. Our diagnostic isolates the true cause so the fix actually lasts.
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.
