We'
ve all done it when in a hurry; spotted a problem with our garage door that we don'
t consider
that serious, and forgotten about it until the next time. This process is often repeated for weeks and months, until eventually the problem develops into something more serious. For peace of mind it always pays to get any problems resolved at the earliest opportunity to ensure your garage doors security and safety is not compromised.
In addition to problems caused by general wear and tear, there are a number of other things you might want to consider in order to keep both you and your family safe.
- If you own an automatic garage door, always keep the remote control out of the reach of children.
- Do not encourage your children to walk under the door whilst it is closing.
- Carry out a monthly inspection of your garage door for signs of general wear and tear.
- Keep fingers away from the joints when opening your door.
- Your garage door should reverse when an object interrupts the sensor. If this does not happen be sure to get it check immediately by a qualified engineer.
- It is not advisable to leave the remote for your garage door in your vehicle. If you choose to do this, be sure that any doors that connect your garage to your home are locked at all times.
The most common problems found with garage doors are often the result of general wear and tear or human error. By regularly inspecting your door you are more likely to identify and resolve any problems before they develop into something more serious, dangerous, or costly.
