Important Tips for Garage Door Safety

by:Gladman      2020-08-28

The garage door serves as protection from unwanted entry and crimes like burglary. It is essential to remember that even though it provides your family security, it can also pose as a hazard if not properly checked or maintained.

It's essential that you keep this list of points on Garage Door Security to keep your family members and residence, secure:

1.Keep the garage door opener control out of reach from young children and pets. Do not let them play with the doors remote controls.

2.Make sure you understand the owner's manual and find out how the door's emergency release function works. It's not smart to wait until an emergency occurs and you have to fumble through the manual to figure out how to trigger this emergency feature.

3.Inspect the garage door regularly. Verify that all the parts of the door, such as the springs, cables, rollers, pulleys, nuts, bolts, and hinges, for any sign of wear or defect. Do not attempt to repair or adjust any of these components unless you are comfortable with your maintenance abilities. It is better to rely on a qualified professional repair person for this job.

4.Make it a habit to check the openers reverse mechanism at least twice a month. It is possible to do this by placing a board of wood or a roll of paper towels in the path of the door. If the door doesn't revert to its original position after coming in contact with the object, call the garage door dealer or a specialist repairperson.

5.Explain the dangers of playing with or near a garage door to children. Tell them to never place their fingers between the door sections as this can lead to pain and pinching. Better yet, think about investing in a door which has panels that don't pinch.

6.Don't leave your garage door partially open, under any circumstances. Not only can this attract burglars, it could also bring about an accident as it may travel downward and crush anything that crosses its path.

7.If you're going on a holiday, ensure you unplug the garage door opener unit.

8.Think about electric garage doors, which are equipped with an opener that has rolling-code technology that changes the access codes each and every time that opener is used. This technology is used to prevent code stealing.

9.Do not leave your opener's remote controls in the car or with the parking attendant. Make sure you have it at all times.

10.Purchase a top quality garage door. Since this is where security ultimately lies, make sure you invest only on safe and heavy-duty garage doors that come with security functions.

The garage door contributes to the wellbeing of one's property and loved ones. But you have to do your part in maintaining and checking it regularly to ensure that the garage door can carry out it's purpose effectively.
