Garage Door Garage Door Sensor Installation Holloman AFB, NM
Holloman AFB garage door sensor installation runs through our shop constantly. Set in New Mexico's arid desert region, these doors meet blistering garage interiors that cook opener electronics, extreme low humidity that dries out hinge and track lubrication, and rapid heat-soak that fatigues springs early, and we choose parts that outlast it.
Holloman AFB, NM is shaped by scorching, bone-dry conditions for much of the year, with dramatic heat, low humidity, and sand-laden winds. We've learned which parts last in New Mexico's arid desert region, because blistering garage interiors that cook opener electronics, extreme low humidity that dries out hinge and track lubrication, and rapid heat-soak that fatigues springs early take a steady toll on springs, tracks, and seals.
In our experience around Holloman AFB, the repairs that come up most are sand-jammed tracks and seized rollers, UV-cracked bottom seals letting dust into the garage, dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors, and openers straining and overheating in superheated garages. We'll show you exactly what failed and why before we touch a tool.
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.
