Lexington Garage Door Safety Inspection Guide

Keeping your garage door safe and functioning properly is essential for your home's security and daily convenience. Regular safety inspections help identify potential issues before they become costly repairs. Learn the key inspection points you should check monthly.

Visual Inspection Checklist

Start with a thorough visual inspection of your garage door system. Check the condition of the door panels, looking for dents, cracks, or signs of wear. Inspect the weather stripping along the edges to ensure it's intact and providing proper insulation.

Testing Safety Features

Test the auto-reverse feature by placing a small object in the door's path. The door should immediately reverse if it contacts the object. This critical safety feature prevents injuries and damage. Test this at least quarterly.

Professional Annual Inspection

While DIY inspections are helpful, professional technicians can identify issues that untrained eyes might miss. DoorGuard members receive priority scheduling for annual safety inspections, ensuring your system meets all current safety standards.
