National Safety Month and Garage Door Safety

May 28, 2023

Joe Wilde Company employs many parents of small children, and we understand the dangers present
around what is often the largest moving object in a home: your garage door. That is why we devote
effort to educating the public on garage door safety. Your safety is important to us and we invite you to
learn more.


June is designated as National Safety Month, and for us at Joe Wilde, that includes raising awareness about garage door safety in your home. National Safety Month intends to create a safer neighborhood and community where you live. Identifying risks around your home and improving safety standards
helps protect your family who lives in the home and the guests who come to visit.


Garage Door Maintenance


The most effective way to ensure safety with your garage door is to have it serviced with an annual
maintenance tune-up. Wintertime in the Midwest has put extra strain on the garage door. Cold weather
causes metal parts to shrink and break, springs to become rigid and snap, and the tracks to warp and
become misaligned. The rollers should be replaced every few years. The garage door has strong, high-
tension steel cables that lift and lower the door and the cold weather makes these cables brittle.
Because the cables are under extreme tension, they can snap, causing severe or even fatal injuries. If
these cables are worn or fraying, they may need to be replaced by a trained professional.


During a maintenance tune-up service from Joe Wilde Company, the technician will examine all the
garage door parts to determine the current wear level and if any should be replaced. The tech will
lubricate parts such as rollers, springs, tracks, hinges, pulleys, and bearings. If needed, the tech will tighten bolts, level and straighten the tracks, and balance the door.
