The SituationIn Sunny Isles Beach (33160), the door kept reversing at the floor during late-afternoon sun. No obstructions; homeowners suspected photo-eye sensor issues.
On-Site Diagnosis
Direct sunlight blasting the receiver lens between 4–6 PM.
Brackets slightly bent; sensor LED flickered under glare.
Tracks true; alignment just outside tolerance.
What We Did
Swapped emitter/receiver sides and adjusted height to mitigate sun angle.
Installed low-profile visors (sun shields) and precision-aligned sensors.
Re-terminated low-voltage wiring; secured brackets; confirmed stable LEDs.
Ran UL 325 obstruction and force tests; updated owner on maintenance.
Documented fix window and recommended optional keypad for convenience.
Parts & Specs
OEM-compatible photo-eye visors, new brackets/screws, wire terminations.
Compliance & Safety
Sensors never bypassed; UL 325 safety maintained throughout.
OutcomeNo more false reversals; the door closes reliably even during harsh sun-glare hours.
Homeowner Feedback
“For months it reversed every sunset. Now it just works — finally.”
