Do not attempt to do repairs yourself
Never attempt to remove, adjust or repair cables and springs,
or anything to which these parts are attached or fastened.
A trained door system technician using proper tools and
instruction must make repairs and adjustments. These parts
are under high tension and can cause serious injury if not
handled properly.

Check garage door opener mechanism regularly
Test your garage door’s opener reversing mechanism monthly by
placing a 2x4 board or a roll of paper towels in the door’s path.
If the door does not reverse after contacting the object, refer to your
owner’s manual and call a qualified garage door professional for
repair.

Do not leave garage door partially open
Do not leave the garage door partially open. When activated again, it
may travel downward and come in contact with an object in its path.
This also impacts your home’s security as well.
While on vacation, unplug the garage door opener unit or use a
vacation lock console security switch, which renders remotes
unusable and is an optional accessory to most openers.

Never leave the remote control in the car or with a parking
attendant. Consider using a key chain remote and always lock the
entry to the inside of your home – especially if your opener is
programmed to your vehicle. It is a small inconvenience for safety
and security.
Never place fingers between door sections and explain the dangers to
children. If you have small children, consider a door with panels that
can’t pinch.
