What safety features should a garage door have?

February 22, 2024 by Adrian

Safety is essential when it comes to garage doors, as they are often the largest moving objects in a home. Modern garage doors are equipped with several safety features to prevent accidents and injuries:

  • Auto-Reverse Mechanism: This feature ensures that the door automatically reverses if it encounters an obstacle while closing. It’s typically activated by sensors located at the base of the door.
  • Motion Sensors: Infrared motion detectors can sense movement under the door and stop or reverse it if something or someone is in the way.
  • Manual Release: In case of power failures or malfunctions, garage doors should have a manual release mechanism that allows you to open or close the door manually.
  • Force Setting Adjustment: This feature allows you to adjust the amount of force the door uses to open and close, preventing it from closing too forcefully.
  • Tamper-Resistant Brackets: These reduce the risk of injury from garage door components under tension.

Regular maintenance and checks are crucial to ensure these safety features are functioning correctly.

“What safety features should a garage door have?”

Essential safety features include an auto-reverse mechanism, motion sensors, a manual release, adjustable force settings and tamper-resistant brackets for remote-controlled doors. Regular testing and maintenance of these features are crucial for safety.
