A garage door is the heaviest moving object in most homes, so a few safety habits go a long way — especially with kids and pets around.
Test the safety features
Once a month, test the auto-reverse: place a roll of paper towels under the door and close it — it should reverse on contact. Also wave an object through the photo-eye beam while closing; the door should stop and reverse.
Smart habits
Mount wall buttons out of children’s reach, never let kids play with remotes, and keep fingers away from the door’s sections and hinges. If any safety feature fails the test, stop using the opener and call for service.
