June is designated Garage Door Safety Month by the International Door Association (IDA). Your garage door is the largest moving piece of equipment in your home. We\u2019d like to bring awareness to the dangers garage doors and openers may pose if not kept in safe working order. Here are some tips to help keep your family and home safe.1. Inspect and Test Your Garage Door Monthly
\nA good preventative practice is to visually inspect your garage door monthly for any signs of wear and tear. Examine the garage door\u2019s rollers, springs, cables, and pulleys. If you do notice damage, do not attempt to repair cables or springs yourself. These parts are tightly wound and under high tension. If they break free and strike someone, it can cause serious injuries. Always play it safe and contact us to inspect or repair the damaged parts.
\nYou should also test the garage door opener\u2019s reversing mechanism monthly by placing a 2×4 board in the door\u2019s path. If the door does not reverse after contacting the board, call us for repair.<\/p>\n

2. Watch Fingers Between Door Sections
\nIf you have a garage door that opens manually, make sure to never place fingers between door sections. Consider adding pinch-resistant door panels to help prevent accidents.<\/p>\n

3. Do Not Allow Children to Play With Remote Controls
\nSeeing as the garage door is often the heaviest and largest moving object in the home, it is important to keep the garage door remote controls out of the hands of children. The best practice is to mount the garage door opener control button at least five feet from the floor. At this height, it will be inaccessible to children and adults will have a clear view of the door.<\/p>\n

4. Don\u2019t Leave the Garage Door Opener In the Car
\nOne of the most commons ways criminals break into someone\u2019s home is by stealing the garage door remote from the car. Help prevent this by taking it with you whenever you leave your vehicle.<\/p>\n

5. Invest in Smart Garage Door Technology
\nAvailable smart phone apps<\/a> allow homeowners to monitor and control the garage doors remotely via your smart phone. You can check if the garage door is open, closed, or if someone is attempting to operate the garage door without permission. Some even offer the added security benefit of keeping a log of all uses of the garage door with dates and times. Imagine your garage door never being accidentally left open because you can check the status through your smartphone app and safely close the door \u2013 from anywhere!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
