Being able to open your garage door electronically is a popular luxury, but it could also be a hazardous and deadly one. Each year in Canada, peopie - particularly children -- are killed by a garage door. That is why it is extremely impor-. tant to test the safety features of your garage door regularly, at least every six months. Canadian climate entails varying temperatures and humidity levels which cause expansion or contraction of the door, the tracks, and the door frame. 67 Lakeshore Road West · Downtown Oakville Gail Moreau ***« r 1 r» . .· r> r> Sales Representative, B.A., B.Ed. a I I ^ ^ # Low M ortgage Rates are just the beginning These factors affect the ease of operation of the door, The approach of summer's warmer temperatures is the perfect time to re-check your garage door's safety features, If your door fails any of these tests, adjust it yourself, or call in a garage door expert. Never make any adjustments to the springs, counter balance weights, or cables. 1. Perform an equilibrium test to make sure the door is balanced, With the door open, disconnect the drive mechanism from the door by pulling the emergency release cord. Close and open the door manually to ensure that it moves easily. 2. Pull the door halfway down and let go. The door should not go up nor fall down. Push the door back up and reconnect the door to the opener. 3. Place a roll of paper towels on the ground under the door opening, and press the button to close the door. The door should compress the roll of paper towels and then automatically reverse. ^ it does not, open the door and adjust the sensitivity of the opener. Try again. I f it does not work a second time, call an expert 4. Make sure the door does not auto reverse in the last inch of travel, as this prevents the door from opening if a piece of gravel gets caught under the door. 5. Regularly lubricate the moving parts of the door. However, do not lubricate plastic parts such as plastic rollers and plastic idler bearings. 6. Ensure door opening and closing push buttons are at least 5 feet high on a wall where children cannot reach them. Please check over these simple steps in order to ensure your garage door's safety features are in proper working order. _ , t ?
