Sensor Alignment and Cleaning in southgate

If your garage door opener lights flash or the door reopens by itself, faulty photo-eye sensors might be to blame. These devices are designed to detect any object that could be in the door’s way. When they get knocked out of alignment or covered in grime, they can send false signals to the opener. A quick professional check keeps your garage door safe and reliable all year round.

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

When hardware works its way loose, your garage door may start to sag or jam along the tracks. Small parts like hinges and brackets do a lot of work behind the scenes. Keeping them secure is key to avoiding costly repairs down the line.

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

Many homeowners don’t realize how much of a difference good weatherstripping makes. Broken or missing seals can create gaps that let in moisture and dirt. In older garages, replacing these seals is a simple fix that can prevent damage to your floors and stored belongings. We recommend checking your weatherstripping every season and replacing it as needed.
