Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Ricardo, TX
When you book garage door sensor installation in Ricardo, you get a tech who knows Kleberg County — Ricardo is one of the communities of Kleberg County, Texas. We serve Ricardo and the surrounding area and nearby Kingsville, Bishop, Premont, and Falfurrias every day.
Ricardo sits in Texas's humid subtropical region — a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. That puts real stress on garage door hardware: we routinely see damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and we fit parts rated to handle it.
From Ricardo and the surrounding area, the issues Ricardo customers describe are typically pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We quote flat-rate, fix it in one trip, and back the work for 10 years.
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.
