Sensor Alignment and Cleaning in southgate

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 southgate, 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

It’s easy to overlook the small parts that keep your garage door stable and balanced. Loose brackets or roller stems can make the door rattle and strain other components. Preventing this is as simple as routine tightening and replacing worn fasteners.

Roller Lubrication and Replacement

When your garage door starts to screech or wobble, worn-out rollers are often the culprit. Proper lubrication reduces metal-on-metal friction and keeps your door operating quietly. Replacing old rollers with high-quality nylon or steel options can make a huge difference, especially in areas with harsh weather.

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.
