Garage Door Garage Door Safety Inspections Sunrise, FL
Sunrise garage door safety inspections runs through our shop constantly. Set in Florida's tropical climate, these doors meet salt spray on coastal homes that pits galvanized parts, mildew and corrosion on shaded, low hardware, and relentless UV and salt that degrade rubber weatherstripping, and we choose parts that outlast it.
What wears out a Sunrise door isn't just use — it's the weather. A hot, humid tropical climate — warm temperatures year-round, heavy rain, salt-laden air, and a long storm season drives salt spray on coastal homes that pits galvanized parts, mildew and corrosion on shaded, low hardware, and relentless UV and salt that degrade rubber weatherstripping, and we plan for all of it.
When Sunrise doors quit, it's usually intermittent sensors fouled by morning damp, swollen wood doors that drag and stick in the humidity, moisture-tripped openers and sensors, and degraded weatherstripping from constant UV and salt. Our diagnostic isolates the true cause so the fix actually lasts.
Safety inspections are formal, documented evaluations of the entire garage door system — useful for home sales (preempt buyer-inspection negotiations), insurance audits (some carriers require periodic verification), post-incident review (after a near-miss or actual injury), and rental-property compliance. The inspection covers every safety-critical component plus structural items, and produces a signed PDF report that meets the documentation needs of most buyers, insurers, and property managers.
Our standard report covers: UL-325 compliance (photo-eyes present, aligned, and triggering auto-reverse on obstruction test), spring health (visible wear, age, cycle estimate), cable health (fray, corrosion, secure termination), drum and shaft integrity (set-screws tight, drums spooled correctly), opener motor and gear health (audible inspection, force/travel calibration), photo-eye function, manual-release operation, balance verification, and structural items (track alignment, bracket fasteners, panel integrity, hinge condition). Every check is photographed and the report includes the photographs.
Inspections take 60–90 minutes. The signed PDF is emailed within 4 hours of completion. If we find issues, we present a separate flat-rate quote for any repairs — you can address them during the same visit, schedule a return, or share the report with the relevant party (buyer, insurer, etc.) and decide later.
