Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death if handled improperly. Always call a professional.
Test your garage door's auto-reverse feature by placing a 2x4 under the door. It should reverse when it hits the board.
Don't leave garage door remotes in your car where they can be stolen. Consider using rolling code technology.
Look for frayed cables, worn rollers, and bent tracks. Address issues early before they become dangerous.
Never place fingers between door sections or near rollers and tracks when the door is moving.
Schedule annual professional maintenance to ensure all safety features are working properly.
If you experience any of these situations, stop using your garage door immediately and call a professional:
