Garage Door Safety

With the coming and going activity, not to mention any play or garage use, safety is a concern. Garage doors manufactured before 1993 only had one safety system. This mechanical option would cause a closing door to ascend if it comes into contact with anything besides the floor. Unfortunately, too many people did not ensure the safety mechanism was functioning, and there were too many incidences, many of which involved kids. This issue caused the American, as well as the Canadian, government to intercede and enforce a backup secondary feature.
