Garage Door Safety Requirements

Garage doors require several safety requirements for installation, in this blog post we are going to details some of the most important requirements that all garage door installations should meet.

Garage Door Safety Requirements

They must be structurally sound and have no broken or missing parts.
Garage doors must safely support their own weight and any load they carry.
They should never sag more than 3 inches or about the width of a garage door shim.
Garage door tracks must be level so that garage door rollers are aligned properly.
Garage doors shall not have excessive play in the centre bearing.
Electric garage door openers shall not work when the power is off.
The garage door has to be properly grounded when using electric eye sensors.

Garage door tracks are usually made by heavy aluminium alloy which can extend up to 70 feet in length. It is common for garage doors to wear over time, but wear regarding the bearings must be properly documented.

Garage Door Safety Hardware

Garage doors are some of the largest moving objects in your home. Because of this, garage door opener manufacturers have special requirements for garage door safety hardware.

The garage door must be equipped with a photoelectric garage door sensor or an automatic garage door closer to shut and secure the garage door within a few seconds after it is opened by a garage door opener remote control transmitter. Requirements for fire safety, energy efficiency and noise reduction technologies must be included as well.

Garage Door Safety Sensors

The garage door safety sensors are designed to prevent accidents. Garages open into the house and garage door injuries can be very serious or fatal for children, pets or adults that may be on the other side of the garage door when it opens. Roller garage doors must be equipped with photoelectric garage door safety sensors on garage doors that automatically close after opening upon power failure.

For a garage that is closed by a garage door opener every time a button is pressed, one photoelectric sensor will do fine for two garage doors or three sections of a four-section garage door. But if you have an automatic garage opener, garage door opener sensors are not enough.

Garage Door Safety Closers

You must also have garage door safety closer to shut the garage door when it is opened, garage door power failure or if someone tries to force their way in. For garage doors that are open for long hours every day, you will need garage door safety closer with timer or garage security system for more peace of mind.

Initial survey by Jordan and only a short wait before a professional installation by Kyle and Danny who kindly disposed of our old garage door.
Very happy with this major upgrade to our property and I am happy to recommend this team from Zap Garage Doors at Doncaster.

Over the moon with our matt black side hinged garage doors fitted today by Zap. From arranging a visit to quote to fitting the customer service from all staff at Zap has been fantastic and we would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again, we’ve already had so many comments.

Abdul Raheem Dawood

Sheffield branch was very professionally installed by Ian Raynor thank you. Unexpectedly our cheapest supply and fit option

Marion Milroy

Finally decided our traditional ‘up and over’ door was no longer secure or weatherproof so booked Zap to replace it with an electric one. We had a socket installed and disabled the old alarm so we were good to go!
The lads arrived on time ( but had to fuss the dogs first so they could get on without lots of barking) and were all done and tidied away in two hours - terrific job would definitely recommend.

Tamara Dickinson

Excellent service from ZAP. Doors are fantastic. Was a bit concerned as the garage is concrete sectional and much larger than most but the effect is brilliant. Very happy.

Andy Booth

Ian turned up at 10am on his own. Lovely chap, polite and courteous and happy to explain anything I I asked.
He did a cracking job and was done by 12, including 2 cups of tea.
The finished job is spot on.
Only wish there were 6 stars.

Tony Clark

We had our new side hinged garage door fitted by lewis and Tommy. Top quality door. The lads were quick, clean, and polite. I would very highly recommend them to anyone looking to replace there old door. Thanks everyone at doncaster branch.

Dan Johnson

Recently got a door installed by Zap at Doncaster, first class service from start to finish, coming to my home explaining options, fitting, after service (there was a scratch on the cover which frankly I wouldn’t have been bothered with but they weren’t happy, they took away and replaced within the week. Great company to do business with wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

mghunky

I had a roller door fitted two weeks ago and I am very pleased with the service and sales person the door looks amazing

Response from the owner:Thankyou

Robert Primhak

I used the Sheffield branch to replace an existing garage door, and was extremely satisfied by their service. Very friendly and helpful office staff, a quote considerably lower than a competitor, and efficient fitting of the new door and mechanism. It needed an adjustment shortly afterwards, which was done without question.
The garage door was subsequently damaged during a break-in and the staff rapidly organised a very effective repair and reinforcement.
Highly recommend.

Response from the owner:Thanks Robert

Nick Binns

Highly recommended. Excellent service. We have a Hormann garage door and the remote wasn't working. Hayley from Zap or Chatsworth solved it quickly.

ian wragg

The whole experience from the show room to the survey and installation was first class. Professional and personal in all areas with quality materials at a very reasonable price. Absolutely love the new side hinged garage door that is colour matched to our new doors and windows.

Response from the owner:Thanks Ian

Excellent job from start to finish.
Seamless communication and service throughout. Especially the fitters who installed our new roller door Jonny & Mitchell they were both courteous, professional, and friendly, demonstrating excellent attention to detail. The installation was completed efficiently and to a high standard, and they cleaned up all debris, leaving the area tidy.

We would highly recommend their service and with definitely use them again.

Mark Szubanski

Had Zap change my original, old 20+ yr old , up and over garage door, to a pair of fold out doors. Very professional, from coming out to quoting , to the removal and install. Kyle and Ruben did an excellent job. Explained what they would be doing, cleared and tidy up everything, to demonstrating the finished garage. Highly recommended and really good service and prices.

ken oak

We visited Zap doors showroom in Doncaster a few months ago,with lots of working garage doors to view,and extremely helpful staff.
We made an appointment to view our house, and one of the staff arrived exactly on time.
Zap doors sent their fitter Ian yesterday to fit the doors,and what an amazing job he made,so professional and extremely tidy.
The doors look great,and we have no hesitation to recommend this company.

Response from the owner:Thank you Ken

Edward Mayo

Zap fitted me a new garage door 18 months ago. It began catching a little so they came out within 2 days and fixed the issue without any fuss and did a brilliant job. Thank you.

Response from the owner:Thanks Dave

Robert Pearson

Very helpful people,
After fitting the side opening garage doors and frame, it exposed old paint and the original frame pointing which would have normally be covered with a finishing strip.
However I Preferred to repoint and remove the old paint from the brickwork my self. To which the fitting guys said that’s fine we will return at your convenience and finish the door frame to wall with sealer and make sure I was completely happy with their work before leaving.
Excellent work thanks.

Jill Harrison

Great experience from start to finish. Initially we visited the showroom where a good variety of doors were on display. We didn't have a standard door size but that wasn't a problem. When we had the quote lots of questions were asked and answered. The guys fitting the door were very professional throughout and everything was left clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend this firm if anyone was looking for a new garage door. They kept in touch throughout and made a good job, the door looks great 👍.

Response from the owner:Thank you Jill

A great experience. From booking my survey, Jordan came, on time, and talked me through my options, and ordered my door. Zap kept in touch, everything went as planned. Kyle and Ruben came to fit my door, and left me very satisfied. They didn't hang about fitting it, and left everywhere clean and tidy. They've done a great job. Thanks to all of you.

Really pleased with our new Hormann electric garage door. Great advice and service from Hayley in the Sheffield showroom. Declan and John the fitters did a great job too and were very neat and tidy. Would highly recommend Zap if you need a new garage door.

Brij Chaggar

If you are thinking of having a garage door fitted, look no further than Zap. From the initial survey to customer care to installation these guys are the best. John and Declan were friendly, helpful and kept me informed of what they were doing throughout. Everything was left neat and tidy and it showed that they took pride in their work. Bravo and thank you.

Response from the owner:Thankyou

Mike Stephenson

Had a garage door fitted by these guys and from start to finish it's been hassle free and I couldn't be happier. Thanks again guys

Thomas Kidder

I’ve had an insulated roller door installed for almost four years and it has been brilliant and well worth the price. Recently had some engineers John and Declan come out to fix it after I accidentally damaged it and they were incredibly helpful, going out of their way to fix the door quickly. After several really positive interactions with customer services and staff, I couldn’t recommend Zap more.

len jubb

Response from the owner:Thanks Len

Garry Aylott

Major fault with my electric garage roller door last evening.
This evening completely fixed by two of the nicest lads you could ever meet.
Absolute brilliant job, great service and care to go with it.
Perfect…. thank you.

Response from the owner:Thanks Garry

Sarah Kidby

I contact Zap on a Wednesday afternoon as I needed my garage door replaced, like for like. Within 45 minutes I had Jonny arrive to quote and talk through which door would be suitable. I paid a small deposit and Saturday lunchtime Paul Whitehead arrived with the door and replaced the old one. Super quick and super tidy, he even cleaned some soil that I had spilt. All waste from the previous garage door was taken away. A few days later Hayley called to collect the outstanding balance. Great company with great service.

Peggy Bonner

Had our garage door replaced this pm two lovely men Sam and Lewis. The cleaned up after wards and even got rid of some old cobwebs. The looks great and we can noe open it.i would recommend Zap.

Alan Upton

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to ZAP Garage Doors for replacing my old electric, draughty, single skin garage doors with brand new, insulted Hormann units.

From the initial site visit by Dean to the installation by Kyle and Reuben and finally paying for them with Dawn in the back office, the whole experience has been professional and courteous and nothing was too much trouble.

Thank you !

Anne Ramshaw

The company was very professional from start to finish, when they surveyed the guy was very polite, kept us up to date all the way up to fitting, lee did a super job installing and showing us how to use it.

James

Great company. Really happy with all the service we received from visiting the showroom the surveyor and the installers.

We had a minor hiccup on site when they started but it was handled perfectly which is a sign of a great company and professional team. Nothing was too much for them and they listened to what we wanted and they got it spot on.

My family have used them many times and this was our first time. I wouldn’t hesitate to reccomend them to anyone. Prices were reasonable too

Andrew Wilson

This is the second garage door I have had fitted by Zap. Friendly and reliable service.
Thank you.

Billy Clampitt

I couldn’t be happier with my new electric garage door! From the initial survey by Dean, where all my questions were thoroughly answered, to the friendly and efficient communication with Jordan to arrange the fitting, the service was outstanding. Ian and Reuben did a fantastic job with the installation, overcoming some challenges with the existing structure in no time. The result looks amazing, and I only wish I’d had it installed sooner. Highly recommended—thank you to the team!

Kate Siswick

Fantastic service from start to finish. The garage door is amazing and has transformed the garage completely! Fabulous communication too. The guys who came from the Doncaster branch were just great. Clean, tidy and explained everything so well. Big shout out to Patrick and Thomas!
Definitely 5 stars from me.

Edmund Key

Pat & Tom had a brilliant work ethic and completed a very large garage door installation perfectly.
Highly recommend the company for high quality doors and excellent service. If only other building trades were as reliable and good as Zap.

Hazel Lee

Made the good decision to have Zap Garage Doors back for another rental property
Highly rate the beautiful door (if a garage door can be beautiful) and John and Declan’s workmanship and manners were perfect
Thank you !

Jemma Armstrong

Fantastic and friendly customer service! Thank you very much for your time and advice Dean!

Julie Perkins

Good communication from person on phone and well fitted. A bit of a mix up about the inside roller cover as there wasn’t one fitted. They said it would be another extra £40 until someone phoned to explain that there wasn’t enough room for one. Looks good and hubby happy 👍

Sam Webster

Pat & Ian replaced my garage door today. Quick and tidy work, considerate and a job well done. Overall, Happy with the door, the service & would recommend Zap Garage Doors.

Had my roller shutter door fitted on Tuesday. Despite arriving later than expected, Thomas, Patrick, and Ian worked very hard to get it fitted on the day. So far, I am very pleased with the product and cannot fault the workmen.

Elizabeth Elson

Thankyou John and Declan (I rang the office to find out your names I hope that's ok) I really wanted to compliment your courtesy, product knowledge and your uncomplicated "can do" attitude... at 5.00pm in the cold and not rushing through the job to just get it done. - Hayley You came through! I also really appreciated your calm friendly organisation.

Harpinder Kaur

Fixer Bear

Had a door fitted by Zap (Doncaster) fair play to the lads, they did a great job, starting at 5 in the dark, slight snagging as I hadn't finished the footings but they came back without complaint and went the extra mile to make my door look top notch, wish I could give them 10 stars for the speed of getting my snagging done and the professionalism from the fitters to staff in showroom, they come very highly recommended by me and I'm usually hard to please.

Julie Askew

Just had my garage door fitted by ZAP. They've done a lovely job. I'm very pleased. It looks so neat and tidy.

Michelle Tantrum

Fantastic work had a garage door and front door fitted. Absolutely love them. Very polite people. 😁

Simon Chadwick

Having purchased my garage door from Zap 2 years ago John and Declan came to service it 30.9.24. Both are very professional and helpful and thoroughly cleaned the runners, wheels and springs, checked all the screws were tight and slightly adjusted the motor to give it a smoother ride as well as refreshing my knowledge on maintenance myself. On top of this, I asked them if they could quickly pop round to my elderly neighbour who has had a very bad experience elsewhere with repairs and servicing. John and Declan popped over, confirmed it isn’t yet ready for a service and also cleaned down and lubricated the rails without charge. Superb customer service that has saved her a lot of worry due to previous problems with another door company and she will now be using Zap moving forwards. Full marks - thank you!

Rick C

Had a Hormann sectional garage door fitted yesterday. Although not the cheapest on the market, the quality of the door is excellent and it looks great.
Pat and Tom, who installed the door, were polite and professional and answered any questions I had. They left the site clean and tidy and took away all rubbish including the old door.
Would highly recommend.

Sharon Blockley

Again Zap have been friendly, totally supportive, kind and professional.
From Hayley who answers the telephone to the fitters you know you are dealing with people who feel like family.
Would always highly recommend them. From a lock to be changed, to 4 garage doors. We knew we were in good hands.
Sharon and David, Stannington.

Gayna Appleton

My husband and I are delighted with our new doors. We had a front door, side gate and roller garage door fitted and they look amazing. What a difference they’ve made to the front of our house. The fitters, Kyle, Lewis and Jonny were punctual, professional, courteous, polite and hard-working. They cleaned everything up afterwards so I wasn’t left with a mess at the end of the day. Thank you guys, and thank you Hayley for your great communication. I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to others.

Ross Bellaby

Zap Garage were fantastic from advising us on our options all the way through to fitting. The job has been done to an incredible standard - and Paul and Fez who fitted it were brilliant: high quality, professional and tidy!

Extremely tidy and removed all rubbish and swept the garage out before leaving
Would certainly recommend Zap to anyone needing a new garage door

Joe Bragg

I filtered through no less than 8 garage door companies before choosing Zap. I had some fussy aesthetic requests which were too difficult for most to incorporate into the plan. No problem for Jordan, who in addition to himself also sent round two pleasant and tidy fitters named Jimmy and Jonny who also shared our initial. How bespoke is that!! :-D

john ward

Absolutely fantastic service from fitting to finish by Pat and Tom. Fast & efficient service. Thanks to Paul in the office as well for sending these guys out when I had an issue. Highly recommend to anyone. Thanks very much.

Response from the owner:Hello John, great to hear Pat and Tom did a good job! Thank you for your recommendation, we will pass on your comments to Paul, Pat and Tom. Regards, the Zap Garage Doors team.

Robert Taylor

HI there I would like to thank everyone at the company for such a great turn around, I had been looking for garage doors for my new garage build for about 3 months, getting quotes, waiting for surveyors etc, then i came across this company, from the off talking to Paul on the phone asking him questions etc he wanted to help and guided me on what I needed to do etc, he arranged a survey within in the week (others i had to wait 2-3 weeks) he came out and measured explained what was needed and how it would proceed, he didn't come across as pushy, or was in a rush to leave, I decided to go ahead with them, told me it would take about 3 weeks for the doors to be made! which was excellent considering other company's were telling me 6-8 weeks! 2 weeks in I get a phone call saying they were ready! I came to fit them the following day, the 2 lads that came (Joe and Jono) were very polite, explained what they were going to do and showed me how things worked, I felt relaxed around them and could have a conversation with them, they fitted the doors and transformed the garage, I would highly recommend this company, they make quality products to a high standard and for competitive prices, the team is very helpful, they don't give you the can't be arsed attitude which I got off other well known company's (cough cough garage door company) I will be using them in the future if I have other projects. Well done team! once again many thanks and keep up the good work! A*

Response from the owner:Hi Robert, thank you very much for taking the time to write us such a positive review! We are glad that you found the ideal garage door with help from Paul. Glad you chose us! Looking forward to any future projects you have in store! - the ZAP Garage Doors Team

When we needed a new garage door Zap were the only ones to actualky come out to measure up for a quote. All the rest used pictures I sent and measurements. We're glad he did as he spotted a problem with the frame that would need it strengthening. Fitters arrived on time and made putting the new door in effortless. All the time social distancing and doing a very clean and tidy job. All stuff was cleaned away & old garage door taken too. The new door looks great and is so much better. Considering the cost of everything we're more than happy to recommend Zap. Thanks to all the team.

Bruce and Kyle arrived on time and were very professional throughout the installation of our new roller garage door. They explained everything to us - how to use the alarm and the manual over ride Etc. Took the old garage door away and left everything neat and tidy. what more can you ask for ? From the initial site visit, calls to the office , to installation it has been a seamless service . Would recommend them without hesitation . Many thanks - Your staff are a credit to you !

We had our garage door fitted today by Ian & Jason. I am really happy with the service received. Both Ian & Jason were polite and professional throughout and left the garage and drive clean and tidy once finished. They explained everything to me, how to use the remote control and the override option in case of a power cut. Fantastic, would highly recommend.

Very, very pleased with our new garage door from Zap, Wakefield. Competitive price. Everything went smoothly from first contact at the showroom, to measuring up and receiving the quote. Excellent workmanship from the fitters and the area was left clean and tidy. 5 stars aren't enough, they deserve 10! I am definitely going to recommend them.

ENJOYING LIFE

I would concure with the review from Sharon Dyson. Zap from Wakefield were excellent from start to finish. We initially visited the Zap showroom and there was met by Christine, who was very helpful and professional. Christine showed us various doors, explained how they worked, an idea about pricing, she was a pleasure to speak with and an excellent representative for the company. Philip the salesman came to the house and gave us a good competitive quote for 2 composite doors and a garage door with electric motor. There was no hard sell, the conversation was relaxed, but professional, and we decided we would book for the work to be done. The work team arrived on time and completed the work to a very good standard. They were friendly, tidy and professional. I have just had to call Zap back after couple of months due to the back door sticking when closing it. Christine again was superb arranging for someone to come out in about a week to sort it out. Thank you.

I’d like to share my opinion on Zap Garage Doors Wakefield it’s not a normal thing for me but when a company as gone that extra mile to help me and my husband to make a decision on a garage door which makes a massive improvement to the front of our house I think it’s only right to say so

I will be honest I looked at the reviews before hand and a little doubtful but we had be recommended to this firm and I’m so glad I used them there salesman which I think is called Phil was brilliant no hard sales at all just a genuine guy and so bubbly we was so happy to let Zap do our Garage door and the service didn’t just stop there we was informed when the door would be fitted

On the day of fitting two gentlemen came and introduced themselves and just got on with the job I kept them full with tea/coffee oh and biscuits and when they was done the gentlemen went through how the door worked and made sure I was happy with everything which I was over the moon what a difference loved it

So I would definitely recommend and will be recommending them

Thanks so much ZAP GARAGE DOORS
