--- title: Safety Inspection url: "https://lga-garagedoor.ddev.site/repair/safety-inspection" date_modified: "2026-08-07T13:01:02-05:00" --- ! ## A note about safe operation Schedule service immediately if you see a loose cable, a gap in a spring, a crooked or off-track door, damaged brackets, or a door that drops or reverses unpredictably. A complete safety check ## The door, counterbalance system, hardware, and opener should work together safely. A garage door is often the largest moving system in a home or facility. A safety inspection looks beyond a single symptom to evaluate the parts that lift, guide, stop, and secure the door. It is useful after a property purchase, following an impact, when operation changes, or as part of preventive maintenance. ### Springs, cables, and balance Inspect high-tension components, lifting cables, drums, and the door’s balance and movement. ### Tracks, rollers, and hardware Check alignment, fasteners, hinges, brackets, bearings, and visible wear or damage. ### Photo eyes and reversal Test sensor alignment, obstruction response, automatic reversal, and opener force behavior. ### Controls and manual release Verify wall controls, remotes, limits, emergency release, and safe manual operation.
