                                   GARAGE DOOR AND OPERATOR SAFETY CHECKLIST                                

  

            Look at the garage door springs, cables, rollers, pulleys, and other door hardware for signs of wear.  If you suspect problems, have a qualified person make repairs.

            Do not stand, walk or run under a moving door.  Hands and fingers must be kept clear from section joints, hinges, track, springs and other door parts.

            Garage door operators are not toys.  Keep them out of the reach of children.  Push-button wall controls must be mounted high enough to be out of the reach of children.

            If an object obstructs the door as it is closing, the door should reverse.  Make sure the garage door operator is equipped with such a reversing feature.  If the door does not reverse, have it repaired or replaced by a person qualified to make repairs.

            With the door in the closed position and the operator disconnected, lift the door.  It should lift smoothly and with little resistance and should remain open.  If the door is out of balance, have the door system adjusted by a person qualified to make adjustments.

            Catch the bottom of the door as it closes.  If the door does not easily reverse, the force is excessive and needs adjustment by a qualified person.

            If you have any questions or experience problems, please call a qualified door company.

 

Tips

·        Avoid a moving door and keep hands and fingers clear.

·        Do not let children play with transmitters or remote controls.

·        Only operate the door if you can see it.

·        If you have any questions or experience problems, please call a qualified door company.
