Local matters for garage door sensor installation. In Haughton and neighboring Eastwood, Red Chute, Bossier City, and Sibley, the failures we address most are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, all backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Climate is half the story for a garage door in Bossier Parish. Given a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity, Haughton doors wrestle with frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers.
Nine out of ten Haughton calls trace back to swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We pinpoint which one it is before quoting a cent.
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.
