Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Mooreville, MS

Local matters for garage door sensor installation. In Mooreville and neighboring Mantachie, Tupelo, Verona, and Fulton, the failures we address most are degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, all backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Ask any Mooreville tech and they'll tell you the climate decides what fails. A warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware brings morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, year after year.

Mooreville homeowners usually call us about one of a few things: degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. 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.
