Local matters for garage door sensor installation. In Stafford and neighboring West Linn, Lake Oswego, Jennings Lodge, and Oak Grove, the failures we address most are moisture-faulted openers and sensors, moss-fouled, stiff rollers on shaded doors, corroded tracks and rollers near the coast, and fastener rot loosening the door assembly, all backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Set in Oregon's cool, wet Pacific coast, Stafford has a temperate Pacific climate of damp winters, cool summers, and near-constant moisture in the air. The practical result is near-constant damp that swells and warps wood doors, wind-driven rain that pits exposed fasteners, and high humidity that seizes rollers and hinges, which is exactly what our parts selection targets.
If your Stafford door is acting up, it's often moisture-faulted openers and sensors, moss-fouled, stiff rollers on shaded doors, corroded tracks and rollers near the coast, and fastener rot loosening the door assembly. Our techs run a full safety and balance check so a small fix doesn't turn into a repeat visit.
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.
