Test Your Door Door Opener

Automatic garage door openers can trap children under the door and cause serious injury or death.

As of 1993, new safety-feature requirements increased the sensitivity of the reversal mechanism on garage door openers. But thousands of openers manufactured earlier are still in use. We suggest that you remove or replace a garage door opener manufactured prior to 1993. Also test your door monthly by closing it on a new, large roll of paper towels. If the door fails to reverse, disconnect the opener until a professional service organization corrects the problem.

Do not stand or walk under a moving door.


Know how to use the emergency release pull cord.


Discuss garage door safety with children.


Keep the door in sight until it completely stops moving.


Make a monthly inspection. (look at springs, cables, rollers, and hardware, check for signs of wear)


Make sure your opener has a safety reverse feature. (if not, it should be replaced)


Balance the door. ( with the door in the down position, release the emergency release pull cord, you should be able to lift the door smoothly with a little resistance. It should stay open around 3-4 feet above the floor. If it dose not, it needs adjustment)


Refer to your owners manual for lubrication recommendations.
