A garage door provides a solid measure of safety for your home, vehicle, and family. Garage doors, however, are large and heavy and can present some safety risks. Felluca Overhead Door, a garage door repair and installation company serving the Rochester area, shares a few tips on how to stay safe around garage doors.

• Don't let children have access to the garage door opener. Keep the remote opener out of the reach of children, and if children can access it, make sure they don't play with the buttons. Felluca Overhead Door encourages you to teach your child about the remote and its importance in keeping your home safe and secure.

• Stay one step ahead of problems. It's a wise idea to do a monthly maintenance check on your garage doors. By just walking around the system and looking closely at wires, rods, tracks, and other equipment, you can stay on top of potential problem areas. If you suspect a maintenance issue, call Felluca Overhead Door right away; the company also offers emergency garage door repair.

• Ensure the reversing mechanism is operational. Also on a monthly basis, test the reversing mechanism of your garage door system. Place a board on the track, allow the door to come down, and make certain that the door automatically reverses direction when it hits the board. If it doesn't, it's time to call in the professionals of Felluca Overhead Door.
