The Garage Door Opener Inspection Includes:
- Safety eyes sensor test
- Manufacturer identification
All automatic garage door openers manufactured after 1993 are required to have safety eye sensors installed, to prevent entrapment. These safety beams should be mounted no higher than 6 inches from the ground. The safety eye sensors are either mounted to the garage door tracks or on the wall near the tracks so that the beam covers the width of the garage door opening. When this beam is broken the door should stop and reverse to the fully open position. This is an important safety feature for all garage doors and should be tested once a year at minimum.
