SAFETY is everyone's responsibility. A Garage Door is the largest and heaviest moving object attached to your home. Proper installation, operation, and maintenance of both the Garage Door and the Garage Door Opener are vital in keeping your home safe. An out of tune Garage Door can cause serious injuries, or even death. There are an estimated 30,000 injuries/deaths annually as a result of poorly and improperly maintained door systems.

DONT BECOME A STATISTIC.... 

KEEP YOUR CHILDREN SAFE !

 

 

NEVER let a child play with or around any Garage Door.

TEACH your children about Garage Door safety.

KNOW how to operate the RELEASE cord to free the door from the Garage Door Opener in an emergency.

NEVER allow small children access to the opener remote controls.

CHECK the force limits on any Garage Door Opener regularly (Consult your owners manual or call a professional).

KEEP wall button at least 5 feet (higher is better) from the floor.

ALWAYS keep the door in sight while it is moving.

VISUALLY inspect all of your door parts or have them inspected on a regular basis (monthly) ie: Rollers, Hinges, Cables, Drums, Springs, Pulleys, Tracks, etc...

NEVER attempt to adjust torsion springs as these must only be adjusted by a trained professional. Seriously. These springs are under extreme tension. Extension springs are very dangerous as well and are best left to the professionals.

NEVER attempt to loosen or remove ANY bottom bracket on ANY type of Garage Door. These are also under extreme tension.

NEVER bypass the safety eye-beams for the Garage Door Opener systems and be sure that the sensors (eye-beams) are not mounted more than 6 inches (per federal law) from the floor.

ALWAYS exercise common sense with regards to any Garage Door or Door Opener useage.

 

PLEASE follow these and other safety tips. Families are special and children look to adults for their well being. Dont let them down for they are precious. Thank You.
