A garage door is the largest and heaviest moving object in most Weston homes. An annual safety inspection from Impact Rated Garage Doors Weston catches the failures that cause injuries and emergency calls.
The Two Safety Systems That Must Work
Every opener manufactured for decades has two required safety systems. The photo eyes near the floor stop and reverse the door if the beam is broken. The force reversal reverses the door when it meets resistance during closing.
Test both annually. Wave an object through the beam while the door closes, and separately lay a solid block flat under the door and close it. Either failure means the opener must be serviced before the door is used again, particularly in a home with children or pets.
Balance and Tension
With the opener disconnected, a balanced door lifted to waist height stays put. A door that drops or rises on its own is putting the whole load on the opener, which is what causes premature gear and motor failure.
Balance drifts naturally as springs age and lose tension, so this is a normal adjustment rather than a defect. It is also the single check that extends opener life the most.
What Our Inspection Includes
Full visual inspection of springs, cables, drums, bearings, rollers, hinges, brackets, tracks, and jamb anchoring; balance and reversal testing; photo eye alignment; opener force and travel limit settings; lubrication of all moving hardware; and battery backup testing.
You get a written report with photos of anything worn, and a clear statement of what needs attention now versus what to watch.
