Sensor Alignment and Cleaning in auburn hills

Garage door photo-eye sensors are one of the most common reasons a door won’t close properly. These small but vital devices shoot an invisible beam across the door’s base to detect obstructions. If they’re dirty or misaligned, your garage door may reverse unexpectedly or refuse to close at all. Keeping them clean and correctly aligned helps keep your home and family safe.

In auburn hills, where snow, slush, and road salt are common, debris can easily accumulate on the sensor lens, blocking the infrared beam. Even a small smudge can cause your system to behave unpredictably. Additionally, vibrations from daily use or slight settling of the garage structure can knock sensors out of alignment.

At Super Door Garage Door Service, we carefully inspect, clean, and realign your sensors so they’re perfectly positioned and operating reliably. We also check for damaged wiring or brackets, ensuring long-term performance and peace of mind.

Loose or Missing Hardware

Over time, daily garage door use can loosen the nuts, bolts, and screws that hold your system together. Even a few loose fasteners can cause noisy operation or throw your tracks out of alignment. Tightening hardware regularly helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Roller Lubrication and Replacement

Your garage door rollers do a lot of heavy lifting every day, guiding the door smoothly up and down the tracks. Over time, they can dry out, crack, or develop flat spots that cause loud squeaks and jerky movement. Regular lubrication and timely replacement help prevent bigger issues and extend the life of your entire garage door system.

Weatherstripping and Bottom Seal Wear

Weatherstripping is your garage door’s first line of defense against drafts, rain, and pests. Over time, these rubber or vinyl seals can crack, flatten, or peel away from the door frame. In harsh climates, worn seals can lead to higher energy bills and a cold garage interior. Replacing old weatherstripping keeps your space comfortable and protected year-round.
