The family garage is not just for your
cars. It may also serve as a place for storage, space to play, and for other
family activities. With this multi-functionality, garages may also pose
security and safety concerns. Common concerns with garages are the faulty
garage doors. Sometimes, garage doors are easily opened or sometimes it just
doesn’t function well. Here are some tips to ensure safety and security in your
garage.
1. Put the garage door remote out
of children’s reach. Most of the accidents with garage doors are accidental
opening because of freely accessible garage door remote. A garage door remote
is usually broken because kids regard it as a toy. Generally, garage door
remote should not be played by children.
2. There is a garage door remote
which has an emergency button. With the emergency button, garage doors are
easily and immediately released during rough times. It is also helpful to
regularly consult the user’s manual of your garage door remote to refresh your
knowledge about its functions.
3. Always check your garage door.
Some of the parts of your garage door may need repair or replacement. Common
parts that should always be checked are springs, hinges, rollers, and cables.
You may also consult experts to check and have the necessary adjustments for
your garage door.
4. It is important to test your
garage door remote for its reversing functionality. If the reversing mechanism
does not go smoothly, you should consult a garage door professional to assess
the problem. You may have to replace your garage door remote or fix the
mechanism of your garage door.
5. Regular orientations on safety
and security around the garage are also important. Through this, the dangers of
playing around your garage will be instilled to the children.
6. Make sure that you properly
close your garage door. Some garage door remote has a certain locking mechanism
which ensures safe and secure garage doors. If your garage door is partially
open, some people might be able to get in, or your children might be able to
get out.
7. If you are going away, make
sure that the garage door opening mechanism is unplugged— rendering the garage
door remote unusable. Putting a code in your garage door opener or remote is
also a good way to ensure a secure place for your cars.
These are just some of the tips
that should be remembered as best practices in maintaining a garage. You must
always remember that you might lose many things once your garage is faulty. Your
garage door should always be kept up and your garage door remote should not be
freely accessible by all.
