E ARE IN extremely chal-

lenging times, and this is

no more evident than in

the area of safety.

You may have heard about the

two separate garage door related fa-

talities that occurred in the US in May.

In the rst case, a six year old boy was

tragically killed when he was report-

edly trapped under a heavy double

sectional door tted with a garage

door opener that was more than 30

years old. While we don’t know the

condition of the door or the opener,

news bulletins reported that there

were no safety beams (IRs) tted. In

the second case, a 33 year old mother

of four was killed when apparently

she was trapped under a heavy garage

door early one morning. In this case it

would appear that the door was not

tted with an automatic opener and

was being operated manually.

Save life before saving costs

It’s more important to consider the

tragic and preventable loss of life be-

fore considering the implications for

manufacturers, dealers, installers or

maintenance workers in our industry.

In the US, the mandatory requirement

for safety beams for all new installa-

tions has largely eradicated garage

door related deaths over the past

15 years. However, these two cases

serve as stark reminders of the inher-

ent dangers associated with any large

moving object such as a garage door.

The trauma and related costs for all

concerned are obvious.

Prevent the problem arising

The best way to prevent damage or

injury in our industry is for all own-

ers to undertake annual maintenance

of their garage door. And, if the door

is tted with an automatic opener,

the safety reversal system should be

checked on a monthly basis accord-

ing to the User’s Manual.

I can’t emphasize enough just

how highly I recommend that all au-

tomated garage doors be tted with

safety beams (IRs). On my own garage

door, I’ve tted “The Protector Sys-

tem™” from Chamberlain.

If the infra-red safety beam that runs

across the bottom of the open doorway

is broken (i.e. obstructed or interrupt-

ed), the door is prevented from closing.

The Australian Garage Door As-

sociation recently made the decision

to lobby for changing the relevant ANZ

Standards to ones where a non-contact

safety reversal system (i.e. safety beams

or edges) is mandatory for all new ga-

rage door and opener installations.

Include safety beams on

every garage door

It appears that many operators in our

local industry have a negative atti-

tude towards these excellent safety

devices, mainly due to the additional

installation time and cost. In my opin-

ion, the criticism is unfounded and I

encourage the industry to embrace

the concept of mandatory adoption of

safety beams or safety edges.

Chamberlain strongly supports

industry action on the prevention of

injuries or damage to property due to

garage doors & openers being set up

inappropriately or inadequately.

CHAMBERLAIN’S Garage Door

Monitor gives your customers

more reasons to buy Cham-

berlain — peace of mind and

property protection.

Their garage is not just the place

they keep their car: for most people it’s

where they store a combination of valu-

able items that don’t t in the house

and stuff they don’t know what to do

with — like bikes, tools, mowers, skis,

les, sporting equipment, and the kids

old toys.

And if they ever forget to

close their garage door, or they

press their remote in error, there’s

a life’s worth of goodies on show

for every passer-by — a kind of

unplanned garage sale.

Chamberlain’s Garage Door

Monitor solves that problem. It lets

them know if the garage door is

open or closed. And it’s simple to

install. Just mount the sensor to the

door with a Velcro strip and place

the monitor anywhere in the house.

Then all they have to do is check to see

if the red light is ashing; because if it is,

their garage is open and inviting.

And that’s easy to solve: while in

full view of the door, just press

the transmitter to close it.
