A few habits keep everyone safe: test the auto-reverse by placing a roll of paper towels in the door's path and confirming the door stops and reverses, keep the wall button out of young children's reach, and never let anyone walk under a moving door.

Place a roll of paper towels in the door's path and close the door. It should meet the roll, stop, and reverse. If it does not, the safety reversing system needs attention. A yearly safety inspection checks the sensors, springs, and balance for you.
Three basics. Test the auto-reverse so the door stops and reverses on an obstacle. Keep the wall button out of young children's reach so the door is never treated as a toy. And never let anyone walk under a moving door, since it is the largest moving object in most homes.
A yearly safety inspection checks the sensors, springs, and balance for you, and that inspection is part of every DoorGuard membership. Between visits you can test the auto-reverse yourself with a roll of paper towels, but the sensor, spring, and balance checks are a professional job.
