Causes of Injury

The most common causes of injury from garage door systems include:

1. Garage Doors may fall if the spring is broken or incorrectly repaired
2. The springs and other parts attached to the springs are all under high tension that can cause severe injury or even death if broken or incorrectly repaired
3. Garage door openers use electricity which can shock or kill if mishandled
4. Door sections as well as rollers and other moving parts can pinch or injure fingers or hands when opening or closing your garage door
5. Improperly adjusted sensors will not indicate to the opener when it is necessary to stop opening or closing your garage door

Verdict

So while it may seem less expensive and even fun to repair your own garage door, it may actually cost you more if done incorrectly, take longer to repair (if a supplier will sell you the part), and poses serious potential injury and/or death. Play on the side of caution and consult a professional!
