A focused safety check of springs, cables, sensors and auto-reverse, with a written list of findings.
A garage door is heavy, and a failure can injure people or damage vehicles. A safety inspection looks at the parts that matter most: springs, cables, rollers, brackets and the opener safety features. It is useful before you buy a house, after a storm or any time a door starts to act differently. Homeowners in Nashville schedule inspections for peace of mind, especially in homes with children and pets.
We look for frayed cables, rusted or stretched springs, cracked hinges and loose brackets. We test the balance with the opener disconnected, check the opener force and travel limits and test the photo eyes and auto-reverse with an obstruction. We check that a manual release is accessible and works. You get a written list of findings, ranked by urgency, so you know what to fix now and what to plan for.
