Climate is half the story for a garage door in Franklin County. Given hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year, Franklin Springs doors wrestle with summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, and intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping.
Nine out of ten Franklin Springs calls trace back to rusted track hardware and seized rollers, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and pitted galvanized hardware on older 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.
