At Omaha Garage Door Repair, we take pride in our quick response to clients’ needs. Recently, we helped a family in Arlington, NE, with their garage door problem. The owners called us about their door’s strange behavior. Our garage door repair team went off to check it out right away.
When we arrived, the homeowners told us about their concerns. Their garage door was not working right; it would open and close randomly. Sometimes, it would not respond to the remote at all. This kind of problem can be annoying and scary for families with children and pets.
Our team’s experience and keen eye for detail led to a swift discovery of the problem. Here is how we identified and resolved the issue:
Our experts got to work and inspected every part of the garage door system. It did not take long to spot the issue: the filthy and misaligned garage door sensors. The safety sensors malfunctioned due to visible rust and a buildup of dirt and dust.
Safety sensors are crucial for any garage door. These devices, while small to look at, play a big role in garage door safety and performance. If something is in the way, they signal the door to stop from closing. This safety measure prevents accidents and keeps people safe. Yet, when these sensors break, it puts families at risk. In fact, a faulty garage door sensor could harm your pets and kids and damage your cars.
We knew we had to act fast. The broken garage door sensors were a real danger to the family. Fortunately, we came prepared with new replacement sensors that were ready to go. We always stock up on common parts for quick fixes.
Our team got to work installing the sensors and even replaced the wood or frame support. It was necessary to provide better support for the sensor’s stability. Next, we mounted the new sensor unit in galvanized steel housing and brackets to resist rust and corrosion. In no time, we had the new sensors in place connected to the new electrical wirings.
After installing the new garage door sensors, we ran several tests to make sure everything worked according to plan. And as usual, we got outstanding results. The garage door opened and closed smoothly, and the sensors responded as they should. That made us happy because we wanted the family to enjoy a smooth and safe garage door operation.
The homeowners were more than happy with our fast service. They were relieved to have their garage door working safely again. We discussed the functionality of the new sensors and provided instructions for their future maintenance. Our goal is always to leave clients feeling secure and informed.
This job reminded us how important regular garage door routine maintenance is. Sometimes, those minor issues can really snowball into major safety concerns if we do not take care of them. We encourage all homeowners to get their garage doors checked every year. It is an easy way to prevent bigger problems down the road.
