Essential Safety Tips

Garage door springs are under extreme tension. A broken spring can cause serious injury. Always call a professional.

Never place hands or objects in the path of a closing door. Garage doors are heavy and move with significant force.

Ensure your garage door opener has safety features like auto-reverse and motion detection. Older models may lack these protections.

Place an object in the door's path and test the auto-reverse function. The door should stop and reverse immediately.

Annual maintenance prevents many safety issues. Proper balance, lubrication, and inspections keep your door functioning safely.

Never let children play with garage door openers or remotes. Garage doors can trap limbs or cause serious injuries.
