Safety Sensors & Photo-Eyes in Waco, TX


Faulty or misaligned sensors are more than an inconvenience — they’re a safety risk. Modern gate systems rely on photo-eyes and obstacle detection devices to prevent accidental damage or injury. Our technicians inspect, realign, and replace gate safety sensors to keep your system compliant, secure, and safe for daily use.

We service residential, commercial, and ranch gate systems across Central Texas, providing fast, professional repairs and upgrades using top-rated safety components.

Common Safety Sensor & Photo-Eye Issues We Fix

Safety systems can fail for several reasons, but our team knows how to quickly diagnose and restore functionality.

Dirty or Blocked Sensors

Dust, dirt, or spider webs can block the beam and cause your gate to stop unexpectedly or refuse to close.

Misalignment

Photo-eyes must face each other precisely; a few millimeters off can trigger false readings and stop the gate.

Wiring or Power Faults

Loose wires or short circuits can interrupt signal flow between sensors and the control board.

Damaged or Cracked Lenses

Weather, debris, or impacts can damage sensor lenses, preventing accurate detection.

Obsolete or Incompatible Equipment

Older gates may use outdated sensors that no longer meet current safety standards.

Moisture Intrusion

Water inside the sensor housing can corrode circuits and cause intermittent malfunctions.
