Keeping your home safe with a garage door is a great way to keep away unwanted guests.
There are also other things you should know about garage door safety. It’s not just about keeping your home safe.
- The garage door and opener are not toys. They are dangerous if misused, and can cause serious injury or even death.
- Never stand or walk under a moving garage door. Never try to enter or exit the garage by racing under a moving garage door.
- When opening or closing the garage door, always keep the door in view until the door is fully opened or fully closed. Make certain that no adults, children or adults try to enter or exit while the door is closing.
- Keep your garage door properly maintained to keep it operating safely. Annual maintenance by a trained service technician.
- Never attempt to repair a garage door’s springs or cables. These are under extreme tension and can cause sever injury or even death.
