You may not be able to see or hear it, but your garage door may not be operating properly, or even safely. Don’t Chance it. Check it.
3-STEP SAFETY CHECK FOR GARAGE DOORS AND OPENERS
1. Check the sides of the garage door for properly installed Photo Eyes (black sensors) mounted no higher than 6 inches off the floor.
2. Block the Photo Eye with an object over 6 inches tall and press the garage door opener’s close button. The door should not close.
3. Lay a 1.5 inch-high object on the ground in the door’s path and press the close button. The door should reverse off this object.
Once you complete the 3-Step Safety Check, if you find that your garage door is not operating properly or are unsure, contact Worcester Door immediately, an official LiftMaster dealer.
