Your garage door is the largest entry into your home. It’s also the biggest heaviest door in your home. That’s why it’s imperative to learn a few safety tips that you can teach your family. Read on to learn to help keep your garage door safe.
Your Garage Door Isn’t a Toy
Your garage door isn’t a toy and shouldn’t be used for entertainment purposes. Never allow your children to use it as a toy and never allow them to use it as a ride. That’s not only a bad idea, it can be fatal. Teach your children to keep their distance from the garage door.
Don’t Delay on Garage Door Repairs
If you notice that anything at all is wrong with your garage door you need to get it repaired immediately, if not sooner. That’s why you should always have the number of your local garage door repair services handy. A damaged garage door will only get worse if left neglected. That’s because, when it comes to garage doors, small problems only lead to bigger problems if not taken care of properly and in a timely manner. Think of it this way, your garage door has lots of working parts, much like a car. You wouldn’t think of not taking care of car repairs, so do the same for your garage door.
Don’t Share Your Password
Never share the password for your garage door opener. It can easily end up the wrong hands. If you have a modern garage door opener you can set a one time password or you can open your garage door with an app on your cell phone.
Keep Your Fingers Off
Your garage door can easily injure your hands or the hands of your children. Teach your children not to put their fingers between your garage door panels. That’s because garage door panels can seriously harm your children’s hands and fingers. Your policy should be that only parents can touch the garage door.
