Teach Your Children About Garage
Door and Opener Safety
Garage door openers are not toys. Careless 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 ngers clear of section joints,
!
hinges, track, 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.
Routine Maintenance Can Prevent
Tragedies
Take a few minutes to inspect and test your complete
garage door system. Make monthly inspection
and testing a part of your regular routine. Safety is
everyone's business. Make garage door and garage
