KNOXVILLE, TN – June 16, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Good Day Garage Doors, a family-owned garage door service provider serving the Knoxville area, is emphasizing the importance of garage door safety as homeowners prepare for increased summer activity and severe weather conditions common to Tennessee during the warmer months.
With summer bringing both intense storms and increased daily garage use, the company is reminding property owners that regular safety checks can prevent accidents and equipment failures. The initiative coincides with National Garage Door Safety Month, observed annually to raise awareness about proper maintenance and safe operation practices.
“Summer presents unique challenges for garage door systems in Tennessee,” said Lior Hason, owner of Good Day Garage Doors. “Between severe thunderstorms that can affect power systems and the increased frequency of use during vacation season, homeowners need to be particularly vigilant about their garage door’s condition and safety features.”
The company notes that summer storms can cause power outages that affect automatic openers, making emergency release knowledge essential. Additionally, humidity and temperature fluctuations can affect spring tension, sensor alignment, and roller performance. These factors, combined with increased use during summer activities, create conditions where minor issues can quickly escalate into safety hazards.
Key safety considerations include verifying that photo-eye sensors remain properly aligned and free from debris, as these devices prevent doors from closing on objects or people. Springs, which bear significant tension and enable smooth door operation, should be inspected for signs of wear or damage. Unusual noises, slow movement, or visible gaps in springs indicate potential failure risks that require professional attention.
Roller condition also affects both safety and performance. Worn or damaged rollers can cause doors to operate unevenly or jump off their tracks, creating dangerous situations. The emergency release mechanism, typically a red cord hanging from the opener rail, should be tested periodically to ensure manual operation capability during power failures.
“Many homeowners don’t realize their garage door is the largest moving object in their home,” added Hason. “Regular safety checks aren’t just about preventing inconvenience; they’re about protecting families from potential injury and ensuring reliable operation when it matters most.”
The company recommends monthly visual inspections and bi-annual professional maintenance to identify developing issues before they compromise safety. Warning signs that warrant immediate professional evaluation include doors that reverse unexpectedly, fail to stay open, close unevenly, or produce grinding or popping sounds during operation.
