June is Garage Door Safety Month

Garage door repairNeglected garage doors can pose a dangerous hazard to a home’s occupants, including children, pets or visitors, Worcester Door would like to share some safety information with our valued customers about garage doors and the steps to take to ensure that your garage door is operating safely.

The garage door, when properly maintained and operated, provides you, your family and your vehicles convenient access to and from your home.  Garage doors also provide security and protection from the elements and even save energy with insulated garage doors of various R-Values.

However, the Garage Door is one of the largest moving objects in the home and to prevent any possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, ALWAYS call a trained door technician if your garage door sticks, binds, or is out of balance.  Never try to loosen, adjust the tension, move or adjust a garage door, garage door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware.

If you take the time to service your garage door, you will find that your garage door opener will perform the best and also last a lot longer.  Monthly door balance checks are recommended to ensure that your door is not causing any stress to the door opener and yearly lubrication of both the door opener and the door will ensure smooth and efficient operation.

Worcester Door is a garage door company.
