The garage door is the largest moving appliance in the typical home (45% of people use the garage door more often than the front door) and its correct operation is very important for your safety and that of your family.
Here is how to ensure you have the safest possible garage door.
Do regular maintenance of your garage door
If you have an extension spring system, make sure you have safety cables
It's possible to install a garage door yourself if you have the ability, the proper tools to do it, and especially if you read our garage door installation guide carefully. However, we strongly recommend that you work with an expert installer
Do not try to adjust the springs yourself, they are under high tension
Check the correct operation of your garage door opener regularly
Keep the remote controls out of children's reach
Choose the operator with rolling codes, (i.e. its secret code changes each time you use the operator) to lower the risk of theft
Ask for the assistance of a certified installer for the annual maintenance of your garage door.
