Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Framingham, MA
Local matters for garage door sensor installation. In Framingham and neighboring Cochituate, Cordaville, Marlborough, and West Concord, the failures we address most are corroded low brackets from winter slush, openers straining against cold-thickened grease, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, all backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Set in Massachusetts's continental-climate region, Framingham has warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware. The practical result is winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, and road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, which is exactly what our parts selection targets.
The repair board in Framingham fills up with the same culprits: corroded low brackets from winter slush, openers straining against cold-thickened grease, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings. Each is a one-visit fix with parts already on the truck.
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.
