Garage doors can be convenient, but neglecting safety features can be dangerous. Here at Encompass Enterprises, we want to ensure Southern MD homeowners are aware of potential risks and how to stay safe.

Hidden Dangers in Your Garage Door:

• Springs: These powerful components can cause serious injury if broken.
• Cables: Snapped or frayed cables can cause the door to fall suddenly.
• Automatic Openers: Incorrect force settings can prevent the door from reversing properly.
• Safety Sensors: Malfunctioning sensors won't detect objects in the closing path.
  
  

Safety Tips for Southern MD Homes:

• Regular Inspections: Look for signs of wear and tear on springs, cables, rollers, and hardware.
• Test Safety Features: Ensure automatic reverse and safety sensors function correctly.
• Consider Safety Cables: Install these on overhead doors with extension springs.
• Smart Openers: Monitor your door remotely and receive alerts for unusual activity.
