In State Line, every garage door sensor installation starts with the local picture — a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. We choose hardware that survives Pennsylvania's continental-climate region, not whatever's cheapest on the shelf.
Climate is half the story for a garage door in Franklin County. Given a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons, State Line doors wrestle with winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, and doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings.
In our experience around State Line, the repairs that come up most are doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw. We'll show you exactly what failed and why before we touch a tool.
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.
