In Old Greenwich, every garage door sensor installation starts with the local picture — warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware. We choose hardware that survives Connecticut's continental-climate region, not whatever's cheapest on the shelf.
Ask any Old Greenwich tech and they'll tell you the climate decides what fails. Warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware brings freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, and cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, year after year.
Run down the service log for Old Greenwich and the same repairs repeat: cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, and warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw. We carry every part needed to close them out in one trip.
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.
