According to garage door safety experts, more than 10,000 people per year are
injured by garage doors. Fingers get caught and pinched, doors fall for whatever
reason, people (particularly children) try and race to get through the door opening
while it is closing and are injured, the springs cause injuries, people get lacerations
from hardware, tracks or the garage door window glass. Teach your children that
garage doors are not toys. And, remember, garage doors need to be maintained and
checked regularly for safe operation.
Here's a list of things to look for and do to make sure your garage door
is safe for your family and your pets:
• Put it into manual mode and lift it: it should glide smoothly and stay open
on its own three feet from the ground. If not, have a garage door professional
counterbalance it.
• Put a pet or child-size object on the ground (a small cardboard box or lightweight
plastic laundry hamper, for example) and close the door. It should pop up as soon
as it meets the obstacle. If not, call a professional.
• Always make sure the garage door is completely closed before driving away.
• Keep people clear of the garage-door opening while door is moving.
• Do not allow children to play with door or opener, including the wall control and/
or remote.
• Do not operate a door that has jammed or has a broken spring.
• Do not install an opener on an improperly balanced garage door, as it may cause
severe injury.
• Periodically, visually check your door springs and hardware.
• Periodically, oil door rollers, bearings and hinges.
