Both units — mounted near the floor each side of the opening — should show a steady light. Wipe the lenses; then loosen the wing nut, aim the sensor at its partner until the light holds steady, and retighten.

Same metro, different numbers: Conroe in context
For context around Conroe: The Woodlands's median home dates to 2000 (post-mandate stock); Spring's median home dates to 1991 (pre-mandate stock); and Tomball's median home dates to 1990 (pre-mandate stock).
Conroe's own figures — 11.9 cycles, median build 2004, 200 ft — are what this page prices against; the neighbouring numbers are why quotes should be local, not metro-wide.
