The garage door is a door that is used for many purposes. Most people choose to use it to park their car in it. This way the car is safe from break ins, vandalism or more. The garage is also used to store your belongings that you are not using at that particular time such as seasonal decorations and tools. Your garage is also usually attached to your home which means that it is a space to enter your home as well. The garage is opened and closed using a clicker that remotely accesses the motor to engage the mechanism to open the door. The garage is very heavy and there are times that it can stop working correctly and could be a hazard. There are parts on the garage that are there to ensure safety such as the reverse option that is supposed to open the door if it senses that there is something in its path. There are some ways you can help your family understand the door and what to do to stay safe.

Quality Garage Door Repair List Ways You Can Teach Your Family How to Stay Safe Around Your Garage Door

The Garage Door is Not a Toy: The clicker to a garage may seem like a fun thing to play with and use as a toy but it is not a toy. One click of that button can start the garage door in motion. Although it should stop if something is in the path, it can always malfunction and that can lead to serious injury. You should never depend on that as a safety option and instead teach kids that the clicker is not a toy. You also should teach them that they should try and stay clear of the path of the door. Even when the door is not operating they should still be cautious. The garage is being held up by the springs and levers that can break. There is always a chance that the door can come tumbling down. Be sure that the kids know that the door is extremely heavy and could be harmful if it fell on them. Make sure they play away from the door just to be safe.
Open & Close Garage Door Cautiously: When you are opening and closing the garage door the majority of the time you are in a vehicle ready to pull in or out. The car is already going to give you a limited view of the area around your car. Make sure that when you are the one operating the door you are careful of what and who is around the area. Take a look at what is behind and around you and tell any kids that they should be far out of the way while you move the car and close or open the garage door. This will help keep them out of harm’s way while you are operating the garage door.
