Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Lexington, MN
Our garage door sensor installation service covers all of Lexington: Lexington and the surrounding area. Set in Minnesota's cold northern climate, these doors face doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings, brittle, cold-cracked weatherstripping along the bottom panel, and cold-thickened opener grease that bogs down the motor, and we plan every repair around it.
What wears out a Lexington door isn't just use — it's the weather. A cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers drives doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings, brittle, cold-cracked weatherstripping along the bottom panel, and cold-thickened opener grease that bogs down the motor, and we plan for all of it.
When Lexington doors quit, it's usually ice- and snow-jammed tracks, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings, and frozen, sluggish openers in unheated garages. 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.
