Midwest Garage Door offers the safest doors and operators available on the
market today. For example, the Hoermann doors we sell, install and maintain
have a bottom safety device to prevent free-fall if the spring or cable breaks,
pinch-resistant section construction and track hand guards.
A garage door is the largest moving object in the home. They are often operated
by electric door openers. Proper installation, operation, and maintenance and
testing are necessary to provide safe, trouble-free operation. An improperly
adjusted garage door or automatic opener can exert deadly force when the door
closes. This could lead to serious injury or death from being hit by a closing
garage door or from being trapped under the door.
A few simple precautions can protect your family and friends from potential harm.
Please take a few minutes to read the following safety and maintenance tipe.
Refer to your garage door and opener's manual for details specific to the model
you own. Then check the operation of your garage door and automatic opener.
Do Not stand or walk under a moving door! Do not
let children or adults play "beat the door". It is dangerous
and can result in serious injury or death. Adults should set a good
example. Know how to use the emergency release, in case someone is
pinned by the door.
Do Not let children play with or use the transmitters
or remote controls. Always place and store them out of the reach
of children.
The pushbutton wall control should be out of the reach of children (at least
5 feet from the floor) and away from all moving parts. Mount and use the button
where you can clearly see the moving garage door.
Garage door openers are not toys. Carless operation and allowing children to
play with or use garage door opener controls can lead to tragic results. Discuss
garage door safety with your children. Explain the danger of being trapped
under the door.
When using the pushbutton or transmitter, keep the door in sight until it completely
stops moving. Teach children never to play under or near an open garage door.
Teach children to keep their hands and fingers clear of section joints, hinges,
tracks, springs and other door parts. Contact with a moving door or its hardware
could cause serious injury. These injuries can also happen with garage doors
that don't have automatic openers.
