Denver Garage Door Experts, list of 10 safety rules you and your family must observe when operating the garage door. Remember that your garage door is one of the heaviest doors you have in your home.
1. Amongst the toys in the house the garage door and and its operating system are not one of them. They should never be played with by anyone and must be handled with caution.
2. You should never allow children to play with the garage door or its system. You should discourage your children from playing near or under the garage door. You should always make sure that the children have boarded the vehicle and buckled up before you operate the door. You should likewise never allow your children to alight from the vehicle before the garage door is fully locked.
3. All remote controls and wall mounted push buttons must be kept out of the reach of children. Wall mounted push buttons and related panels must be mounted at least five feet above the floor and at least five feet away from the door. We recommend a child proof casing be mounted on the push buttons and related panels.
4. No one should stand or walk under a garage door in operation. Do not attempt to crawl or slide under a partial closed door.
5. Always make sure the garage door is in your view when closing it. Do not leave until it is fully closed. It is your responsibility to make sure that no person or pet tries to enter or exit the garage while the garage door is locking.
6. Make sure that your hands and fingers are at a safe distance from any rotating part of the door when the garage door is closing.
7. Always maintain your garage door and its supporting systems carefully by following the instructions from your garage door repair technician. Be keen to follow up on any and every scheduled maintenance visits by your technician.
8. Always remember the source of power for your garage door is electricity. Electricity can maim or cause death if it is mishandled. All services on your garage door must be done by a qualified and certified technician.
9. Garage doors are operated by a series of torsion springs and mounted with hinges. Torsion springs are always under extreme pressure. Do not try to repair them. The force of an uncoiled spring when mishandled can break bones or kill. Always call a qualified garage door technician to repair them.
10. In case of any damage, obvious or otherwise on your garage door by a vehicle, inform a garage door technician immediately to come and inspect and repair the damage. Remember that a part from the garage door there is an operating system that can also be damaged by a bump on the garage door.
