Total Garage Solutions
Total Garage Solutions (TGS) of NJ issues a garage door safety and prevention list for homeowners. The safety list aims to protect NJ homeowners and their families from malfunctioning garage doors which can cause serious injury and even death.
Every year serious and sometimes grave injuries are attributed to malfunctioning garage doors. Overhead garage doors are the largest and heaviest moving object in a house. If not properly serviced and maintained, a malfunctioning garage door can spell disaster for families. In 1993, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) passed a law that required all garage door manufacturers to equip their garage doors with photoelectric sensors, and pressure-sensitive sensors. Even still, garage doors must be checked regularly for faults and serviced immediately to avoid risk of injury.
NJ homeowners can take advantage of the safety and prevention check-list issued by TGS. The check-list aims to help homeowners maintain proper functionality and uncover problems before they become a serious issue.
The TGS Garage Door Safety Checklist includes the following:
1. Be sure that you garage door meets the 1993 safety standards from the CPSC (it it was installed before 1993 there is a good chance that it may not)
2. Replace pre-1982 openers that do not reverse
3. Test your door’s functionality on a monthly basis
4. Place your garage door opener where only an adult can access it and in clear view
5 Learn how to operate your door’s emergency release
6. Oil door rollers, bearings and hinges monthly, using a silicone lubricant or light oil
7. Have your garage door inspected at least once a year by a certified and professional company like Total Garage Solutions
Paul Yodice, Vice President of Sales & Service at Total Garage Solutions says “Garage doors are a safe and convenient feature of any home, if installed and properly maintained. Unfortunately, people tend to overlook the dangers they can present. Garage doors can weigh in excess of 400 pounds; they have enough force to injure someone. Don’t let that someone be a member of your family. Follow the garage safety guidelines set out here and have your operating system inspected at least once a year, it could save a life.”
