5. Operate it Manually<br />
Though you may be having a garage door opener, you don’t have to use it when fixing your door<br />
unless you have to. This is to ensure that it’s not accidentally pressed to engage the door while you<br />
are still working. If you are caught by the door, you may suffer a severe injury.<br />
6. Know When to Call a <strong>Garage</strong> Expert<br />
Not every garage door issue is a DIY fix. Some garage door repairs are best left to experts. For<br />
example, you shouldn’t attempt to fix torsion springs. They are quite delicate and you may risk<br />
weakening the door. This could easily lead to it falling on you. Additionally, you may not know if the<br />
springs need to be repaired or to replaced. Sometimes all that the springs need is tension release.<br />
Such a problem requires special tools that only garage door experts have access to.<br />
When doing DIY garage door repair, what matters most other than getting the job done is your<br />
safety. You have to prioritize it and this means staying away from possible sources of injury. Always<br />
remember the above safety tips to protect yourself and everyone around your working area.
