Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Gunnison, UT
Our Gunnison garage door sensor installation calls cluster around noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers, dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors, dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, and cold-snapped springs after hard winter freezes. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.
Ask any Gunnison tech and they'll tell you the climate decides what fails. A high, dry climate of intense summer heat, sharp overnight cooling, and very little annual precipitation brings fine wind-borne dust that grinds down track rollers, heat-soak that fatigues torsion springs years early, and low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, year after year.
Gunnison homeowners usually call us about one of a few things: noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers, dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors, dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, and cold-snapped springs after hard winter freezes. 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.

We size springs and seals for Utah's semi-arid interior conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
