Our Runnemede garage door sensor installation calls cluster around rusted track hardware and seized rollers, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.
We spec every Runnemede job for the environment it lives in. Given a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity, the failure modes we plan around are high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore — and we carry the corrosion-resistant parts to match.
We've fixed thousands of doors around Camden County, and the pattern holds in Runnemede: rusted track hardware and seized rollers, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. None of it should leave you without a working garage for more than a day.
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.
