What is the largest moving object on your property? It’s the garage door.
So, it should be a safety priority, right? Well, according to our friends at LiftMaster, ” 1 in 15 may lack the latest safety features or may not be operating properly and many more garage doors and openers could be showing signs of wear and tear, indicating a need for service.”
Here is a “Do It Yourself” tip to give your garage door and garage door opener LiftMaster’s 3-Step Safety Check.
STEP #1 – Check the sides of the garage door for properly installed Photo Eyes (black sensors) mounted no higher than 6 inches off the floor.
STEP #2 – Block the Photo Eye with an object over 6 inches tall and press the garage door opener’s close button. The door should not close.
STEP #3 – Lay a 1.5 inch-high object on the ground in the door’s path and press the close button. The door should reverse off this object.
