Test the auto-reverse and balance before Labor Day storms hit
Summer’s sudden thunderstorms in Little Egg Harbor Township can catch a garage door off-guard if the auto-reverse safety feature fails. Place a 2x4 on the ground and close the door—it should reverse immediately upon contact. If not, the sensors may be misaligned or the door could be unbalanced, risking damage to your car or home. A quick balance test (open the door halfway—it should stay put) reveals spring tension issues.
