Ask any Overton tech and they'll tell you the climate decides what fails. Hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year brings salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware, year after year.
Run down the service log for Overton and the same repairs repeat: swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We carry every part needed to close them out in one trip.
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.

Overton sits in hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year. That is hard on a door — salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We size springs and seals for Texas's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
