In this episode of the Check A Pro Radio Show, host Joe speaks with Adam Greer from EZ Lift Garage Doors and More, a reputable provider and garage door specialist. They dive into the importance of garage door sensors, their functionality, mandated existence since 1994 and how they help prevent unnecessary accidents or damage.
Adam explains that the prime function of these sensors is to save lives. They are installed approximately six inches off the floor and produce a safety beam. As such, when an obstacle like a pet, child or object crosses the beam's path, the garage door sensor communicates to the opener to stop, preventing potential harm or damage.
Erroneously enough, some people tend to modify the installation of these sensors, aiming to circumvent their triggering. However, these modifications can lead to dangerous situations and are strongly discouraged.
Moreover, if a professional from Easy Lift Garage Doors and More encounters a sensor that's out of code, they are obligated to bring it up to code before servicing the door or opener. This emphasizes how critical these sensors are to our safety.
During the discussion, the duo also brings up the question of who mandates the installation of these sensors. Apparently, an agency (whose name eludes Adam for a moment) is behind the rule. Although not a governmental body, the agency's stance is crucial when it comes to insurance coverage should an accident occur.
On a lighter note, Joe shares an orbital-related issue he experiences periodically during the year when the sunrays hitting his sensors triggers the reversal of his garage door mechanism. Adam confirms this occurrence and suggests some remedies. He mentions there are even aftermarket products available to help counter this issue.
In conclusion, Adam emphasizes the need for these sensors not just for protection of children, but general household safety. Therefore, remember that your garage door sensors are crucial, a well-maintained sensor can go a long way in ensuring the safety of your home.
