Garage Door Safety Advice in Jacksonville, FL: What to Do Until a Technician Arrives

Disconnect the Garage Door Opener

●    If your door is stuck halfway or behaving unpredictably, unplug the automatic opener from          the power outlet.

●    This will prevent accidental activation and reduce the risk of injury.

Use the Manual Release with Caution

●    Most garage doors have an emergency release cord (usually a red handle hanging from the         opener rail).

●    Only use the manual release if the door is fully closed—or if you must exit in an emergency.

●    Never attempt this if the door is stuck open, as it may fall unexpectedly.

Keep Children and Pets Away

●    Ensure kids and pets stay clear of the garage door and opener system until repairs are                complete.

●    Warn family members not to use the door until it’s professionally serviced.

Secure Your Property

●    Avoid trying to loosen, adjust, or cut garage door springs or cables yourself—they are under        heavy tension and can cause severe              injury.

●    Lock all entry doors between your garage and home.

Document the Problem

●    Take photos or notes of the issue to share with your technician; this can speed up                         diagnosis.
