Ensuring that your garage door functions safely and efficiently is essential for the security and peace of mind of your home and family. At Midwest Garage Door Company, we emphasize the importance of performing a comprehensive safety test at least once a year. Our skilled technicians conduct thorough inspections and rigorous tests on your garage door system, ensuring every component operates correctly and meets the highest safety standards. This proactive approach not only helps prevent potential accidents but also extends the lifespan of your garage door, providing you with reliable and safe operation year-round.
Key Features Checked During a Garage Door Safety Test
During a garage door safety check, the experienced Midwest Garage Door Company team meticulously examines key features to ensure optimal safety and performance. With our expertise, you can trust that every safety aspect of your garage door is thoroughly evaluated and maintained to the highest standards. A garage door safety test includes an inspection of the following features:
Safety Reversal Mechanism
One of your garage door's most critical safety features is the safety reversal mechanism. This feature ensures that if something is stuck under the door, the door will automatically reverse direction to prevent injury or damage. Our technicians will test this mechanism to confirm that it responds appropriately.
Sensor Functionality
Garage doors are equipped with sensors to detect obstructions in their path. The sensors prevent the door from closing if something is under it. We will check that these sensors are aligned correctly and functioning as intended to ensure your garage door does not close on people, pets, or objects.
Manual Release Handle
In case of a power outage or system failure, the manual release handle allows you to operate the garage door manually. Our safety test includes checking the condition and functionality of the manual release handle, ensuring it works smoothly and is easy to use in an emergency.
Spring Tension and Balance
The springs on your garage door play a vital role in its operation. Improperly balanced springs can cause the door to operate unevenly or fail altogether. Our technicians will check the tension and balance of the springs to ensure they are in optimal condition, providing smooth and reliable operation.
