Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Swartz, LA
Homeowners across North Monroe and the surrounding Swartz area call us for garage door sensor installation because we know Swartz. The common drivers locally are pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity — and we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Swartz'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 frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, and high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.
The short list of what goes wrong on Swartz garage doors: pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity. Whatever's on yours, the diagnosis is free on most repairs and the quote is in writing.
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.
