Your garage door probably gets more daily use than almost anything else in your house. But when was the last time you checked whether its safety features actually work?
Modern automatic garage door openers typically have photoelectric sensors near the bottom of the door opening. If something interrupts the beam while the door is closing, the door should reverse. There's also an automatic reversal system designed to respond when the closing door encounters an obstruction.
These features are important, especially in households with children and pets. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends testing garage door safety systems regularly. If the door doesn't reverse properly, stop using the automatic opener until the problem is corrected by a qualified professional.
It's one of those household safety checks that takes very little time but deserves a lot more attention.
