Safety
Old manual garage doors often require you to lift up a heavy door from the ground. To prevent any potential injuries doing this, you can opt for automatic garage doors which will do the heavy lifting for you. Automatic garage doors are ideal for homes with children, elderly people and those with health conditions that prevent them from manually operating a garage door.
With an automatic garage door, you’ll never have to worry about people getting injured from the doors closing on them as there are in-built sensors. If the garage door comes into contact with an obstruction on its way down, it automatically reverses or stops if it is obstructed on its way back up. An infra-red beam can sense if a child, pet or vehicle, moves under the door while closing and stop and reverse before it makes contact.
