Call (469) 248-7053Your Garage Door: A Safety & Security Priority
Your garage door is the largest moving object in your home, weighing 150-400 pounds and operating under high tension. When safety features fail, the consequences can be devastating—garage door accidents cause thousands of injuries and several deaths every year. At the same time, an unsecured garage is one of the most common entry points for burglars, with an estimated 9% of home break-ins occurring through the garage.
At Deer Garage Door, we take both safety and security seriously. Every service call includes a complimentary safety inspection, and we offer comprehensive security upgrades to protect your Dallas-Fort Worth home and family.
⚠️ Don't Ignore Safety Warnings
If your door doesn't reverse when meeting an obstacle, if sensors are misaligned, or if the door drops suddenly when released—stop using it immediately and call for service. These are signs of imminent danger that could result in serious injury.
Safety Services We Provide
Photo-Eye Sensor Repair
The sensors at the bottom of your door opening detect obstructions and prevent the door from closing on people, pets, or objects. When they fail, the door becomes dangerous.
- Sensor alignment
- Wiring repair
- Sensor replacement
- Calibration & testing
Auto-Reverse Repair
Federal law requires garage doors to reverse when meeting resistance. If your door pushes through objects instead of reversing, the force settings or sensors need adjustment.
- Force adjustment
- Pressure sensor repair
- Motor gear service
- Safety testing
Safety Cable Installation
Extension springs can become projectiles if they break. Safety cables contain a broken spring, preventing it from flying across your garage and potentially causing injury.
- Cable installation
- Cable replacement
- Hardware inspection
- Spring assessment
Balance & Spring Service
An unbalanced door can drop unexpectedly when springs are tired. Worn springs make the door unpredictable and put extra strain on the opener and other components.
- Balance testing
- Spring adjustment
- Spring replacement
- Component inspection
