Toronto Locksmith Safe Garage Doors

Garage door installation can be dangerous and is not recommended for those with no experienced.  It is recommended that professional door systems technicians install garage doors. If you need to attempt the installation by yourself, closely follow the manufacturer’s installation guide carefully.

Here there are few pointers for checking that the garage door works properly:

Safety Cables. Does your Garage door have extension springs? If not, you should install a safety cable that runs through the spring and is secured to the wall/ceiling at each end. When your garage door is closed, extension springs are under high tension. If the spring breaks with someone around, it may cause injury. A safety cable can keep a broken spring contained. If you have extension springs but no safety cable, call us for a safety inspection.

Struggling Door? If your door does not easily go up and down, you may have a problem and unsafe condition. Even older garage door systems should operate smoothly. If the door is still moving awkwardly when the door is manually operated, your door may have a spring system that is out of balance. This can cause extra wear and tear on other important door components. Again, spring systems can be dangerous so they should be repaired by trained professionals. Call us to help.

Watch Your Fingers! Every year, many unsuspecting home owners injure their fingers by pulling down on the door with their fingers between the panels. If your door does not have pinch-resistant joints, you should have special handles or gripping points on the inside and outside of the door. Even if your door has an opener, the door should be manually operable. Never place your fingers between the door’s panels. If you do manually open or close your garage door, use the handles or the safe gripping points!

Tamper-Resistant Brackets. The bottom brackets on a garage door are connected to the door’s springs which are under extreme tension. Only a trained door systems technician should adjust any part of your garage door system. Many manufacturers include tamper-resistant technology that prevents loosening of the brackets by a novice, but you still should be aware of these brackets.

Use the Old Track? If you are replacing your garage door, do not save a few dollars by putting a new door on the old track. Know that your old track may not fit with your new door, because there are many factors for compatibility. Thickness of your sections, weight of the door, headroom required, location of the garage door opener, and other considerations should all be taken seriously. The track and sections work together as a system so for maximum performance and extended life, you should use the track that is specifically designed for your new door.

If you need help, we are only a phone call away, and available 24/7.
