Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Fallon, NV
Fallon garage door sensor installation runs through our shop constantly. Set in Nevada's semi-arid interior, these doors meet fine wind-borne dust that grinds down track rollers, intense UV that embrittles rubber gaskets and bottom seals, and low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, and we choose parts that outlast it.
Fallon, NV is shaped by dry conditions year-round with big seasonal swings — scorching summers, cold winters, and frequent wind-driven dust. We've learned which parts last in Nevada's semi-arid interior, because fine wind-borne dust that grinds down track rollers, intense UV that embrittles rubber gaskets and bottom seals, and low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast take a steady toll on springs, tracks, and seals.
In our experience around Fallon, the repairs that come up most are dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, overheated opener motors straining against binding doors, noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers, and cold-snapped springs after hard winter freezes. 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.
