QUICK ANSWER
A safety inspection checks that your door stops and reverses when it should, that the springs and cables are sound, and that nothing is loose. It is a good idea when you buy a home or if the door has not been checked in years.
A garage door is the largest moving object in most homes. The safety features are there to protect people, pets, and cars.
What we test
We test the auto-reverse, the safety sensors, the manual release, and the balance. We look for worn cables, rusted springs, and cracked hinges.

Is an inspection a certification?
This service is an assessment of the garage door’s condition and operation at the visit. It should not be described as a building inspection, regulatory certification, or promise that the equipment cannot fail later.
Should I test a damaged door before you arrive?
No. If the door is crooked, damaged, or behaving unpredictably, stop operating it and explain what you have already observed. Keep the opening accessible from a safe distance.
