Garage Door Safety Checklist: Dallas Homeowner Essentials
Is your garage door truly safe? Many Dallas homeowners overlook critical safety checks that can prevent accidents, injuries, and costly repairs.
Why Garage Door Safety Matters
Garage doors are the largest moving object in your home and can weigh hundreds of pounds. A faulty spring, worn cable, or malfunctioning sensor can turn a convenience into a hazard.
Essential Safety Steps Every Month
- Test the auto-reverse feature: Place a 2x4 under the door and close it. The door should reverse immediately upon contact.
- Inspect springs and cables: Look for rust, fraying, or gaps.
- Lubricate moving parts: Use white lithium grease on rollers, hinges, and tracks every 3 months.
- Check remote batteries: Weak batteries can cause erratic operation.
- Tighten hardware: Vibrations can loosen bolts and screws over time.
- Clean and align photo-eye sensors: Dust or misalignment can prevent your door from closing.
