Car Door Safety Tips

Your home and yard are not the only places that need safety measures. Garages can also be a dangerous place if safety precautions are not taken. Your garage door in particular needs extra safety attention.
It is especially important to take safety precautions with your garage car door. Don't take the risk of injuries happening to anyone in your family. Sadly, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission 4 children a year are killed by garage doors.
Garage doors can crush children if not maintained properly. Garage car doors are easily the heaviest and largest doors you have. Injuries can quickly happen if safety precautions are not taken.
Garage door openers are a very important safety tool and should be replaced every 5 years to be most effective. To avoid having the door crush anyone, check your door's ability to open and close correctly. Be sure that the door reverses when it touches something before it hits the ground, and if it doesn't then replace it.
Garage doors can also pinch fingers. Most garage doors have been fitted with automatic door openers which help against children's fingers getting pinched from having to close the door on your own. You can also find garage doors that are designed to push smaller limbs or fingers out of the way when the door closes.
Springs that are used with your car door may cause serious injury to those that may be inside the garage, or cause damage to your car. Springs don't last forever. Eventually your car door's hefty springs will wear down and break.
To avoid harm from a broken spring try preventative measures before it can happen. When your garage door is closed, thread hanging wire through the spring and secure it tightly. That way, if the spring does break it will stay on the wire and won't go flying.
Garage doors can be a dangerous piece of equipment if not properly maintained. Be sure to take the time to inspect it every few months to make sure it is working properly. If you find any problems with it, correct them as soon as possible. |
