This content will be broken down into two sections. The first one concerns safety measures and concerns every homeowner know concerning garage door safety. The second section involves much more the preventative measures every homeowner can (and should) take. 1 This first tip is for those of you who have kids. Adults (for the most part) know not to mistreat or misuse their garage doors. Kids (on the other hand) might not know (instinctively) without some kind of parental intervention. That is why it s up to you (as a parent) to teach your kids not to misuse or mistreat the garage doors.
