Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Juno Beach, FL

For garage door sensor installation around Juno Beach, the details that matter are local: relentless UV and salt that degrade rubber weatherstripping, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and moisture that never lets metal hardware fully dry. Our crews stock corrosion-resistant parts built for exactly those conditions.

Weather matters more than most Juno Beach homeowners expect. Local conditions — year-round heat and humidity, frequent tropical downpours, and salt-tinged moisture that never lets metal fully dry — drive relentless UV and salt that degrade rubber weatherstripping, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and moisture that never lets metal hardware fully dry, so we recommend hardware and seals suited to Florida's tropical climate.

The short list of what goes wrong on Juno Beach garage doors: degraded weatherstripping from constant UV and salt, corroded bottom brackets on older coastal doors, rusted track hardware and seized rollers near the water, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors. Whatever's on yours, the diagnosis is free on most repairs and the quote is in writing.

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.
