Connell garage door sensor installation runs through our shop constantly. Set in Washington's semi-arid interior, these doors meet fine wind-borne dust that grinds down track rollers, low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, and freeze-thaw on cold winter nights that cracks aging seals, and we choose parts that outlast it.
Garage doors in Franklin County live with dry conditions year-round with big seasonal swings — scorching summers, cold winters, and frequent wind-driven dust. For Connell that means watching for fine wind-borne dust that grinds down track rollers, low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, and freeze-thaw on cold winter nights that cracks aging seals; we factor it into every repair and every new-door spec.
Connell homeowners usually call us about one of a few things: loosened hardware from constant expansion and contraction, heat-warped panels on west-facing steel doors, dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, and prematurely fatigued springs from extreme thermal cycling. We diagnose the real cause — not just the symptom — before quoting a flat rate.
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.
