Garage Door Safety

What maintenance is suggested for overhead door and electric opener?
We suggest a certified professional undertake any major repairs, as well as scheduled maintenance and lubrication checks.

Visually inspect your garage door each month.  Look at the garage doors’ springs, cables, rollers and pulleys for signs of wear.  If any of these components appear damaged, contact Gear Garage Door for adjustment.   Do not operate a door that jams or one that has a broken spring.

Garage Door Springs
Do not attempt to remove, adjust or repair cables and springs, or anything to which these parts are attached or fastened.  A qualified garage door professional using proper tools and instruction should make repairs or adjustments.  These parts are under high tension and must be handled properly.

Always keep the garage door opening clear of people, pets and objects when operating a door.

Do not let children play with or use the transmitters or remote controls. Always place and store them out of the reach of children.

Mount the garage door opener wall control out of the reach of children (at least 5 feet from the floor) and away from all moving parts. Mount and use the button where you can clearly see the moving garage door.
