Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Long Beach, WA
We handle garage door sensor installation across Long Beach year-round. The local reality — mild temperatures year-round with heavy seasonal rain, persistent coastal cloud, and high ambient humidity — guides which springs, rollers, and seals we install.
What wears out a Long Beach door isn't just use — it's the weather. Mild temperatures year-round with heavy seasonal rain, persistent coastal cloud, and high ambient humidity drives heavy rainfall and fog that rust steel hardware fast, standing damp that corrodes the lowest hardware first, and salt-laden onshore wind that corrodes springs and cables, and we plan for all of it.
When Long Beach doors quit, it's usually rust-seized springs and cables in the wet climate, corroded tracks and rollers near the coast, moisture-faulted openers and sensors, and moss-fouled, stiff rollers on shaded doors. 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.
