The garage door is the largest moving object in a house and weighs over 300 pounds. So, it is necessary to be careful while handling it and especially children should be kept away from it. There are certain methods to be followed for safe access of a garage door. Below mentioned are some of them.
Safety methods that the home owners should follow:
1. You have to know well about your garage doors. Garage doors are heavy and dangerous. One should be very careful while handling them.
2. Make sure that your children and pets stay away from the garage doors. Don't allow the children to play near or under or close to the garage doors. Don't allow the children especially when operating the garage doors.
3. Don't give the garage door remote control to children. They play with the remote control like toys. It is important to say the children that garage door remote controls are not toys. Keep the remote control five feet from the floor. So, it can prevent the naughty kids from accessing the remote controls easily.
4. Don’t try to attempt to enter the garage by racing under a moving garage door. Enter the garage, only after the door is fully opened.
5. Keep the garage door in view during operation. While opening or closing the door, see whether the area is clear or not.
6. To avoid injury, don't keep hands, feet or fingers in the sections of the garage door.
7. Maintain your garage door properly to ensure smooth operation. The most dangerous thing is to have unbalanced garage door around the house.
Garage door installation-Careful while choosing a company
If you are planning to install a new garage door to your home, then you have to see company commitment and the quality of the products.
Lou Mezzetta, the owner of United Overhead Door Corp1 , an overhead garage door service company in NY tells-"There are many companies claiming they use superior parts and include a lifetime warranty, and of course “Certified” technicians. It is extremely important that you research the company before you do business with them. Read the fine print regarding any warranty that seems too good to be true."
Most garage door service companies that show up on search engines are advertising a very low price, but will end up charging you hundreds of dollars for a simple repair. Several companies advertise with many phone numbers, leaving the impression that they are local. They will even have a local address, but these addresses are selected at random based on the area. They DO NOT have a physical location. So, be careful while choosing a garage door repair and installation company.
