A 24 Hour Door Service
When considering home safety, not many give a second thought to their garage door opener. However, between the years of 1982 and 1992 alone, over 50 deaths, primarily of children, caused by old and outdated automatic garage door openers, were documented by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. How many deaths occurred that were NOT documented? And how many injuries were there that did not result in death? No doubt the number would be even greater if we took into consideration these additional factors.
Because of these risks, in January of 1994, there was a federal law passed that mandates all new automatic garage door openers to be equipped with sensors as an automatic feature. These sensors include an electric eye that shoots an invisible beam across the floor of your garage door opening. If any object is in the path of this door, it breaks the beam, and the door will not open or close. Also, additional safety features include the fail-safe sensor that causes your garage door to automatically stop closing and reverse if it touches or comes in contact with anything.
These new required safety features on garage door openers will no doubt save many injuries, accidents and even deaths. However, the law that went into effect in 1994 did not apply to current garage door openers that are already in use and built before the year 1982. Therefore, if your garage door opener was built before 1982, it can pose certain risks and dangers that can be easily eliminated by simply hiring A 24 Hour Door Service to install a new modern day electric garage door opener to replace your older product. Or, even if your opener was built and installed AFTER 1982, but the safety sensors are not performing well, or at all, please be sure to call A 24 Hour Door Service right away. We might be able to fix the problem without replacing the entire unit. However, even if you do require a new opener, the cost of a new, fully loaded automatic garage door opener is typically only around several hundred dollars. Isn't your family's safety worth more than that? For more information, call (769) 208-6418 or visit https://www.a24hourgaragedoorsms.com/
