Garage Door Safety: Beyond the Industry Standard
The garage door opener manufactures often claim that OEM safety sensors are enough to prevent garage door accidents. However, the reality is that garage door accidents happen all the time despite having installed these OEM sensors. Why are these accidents so common even though the garage door industry says we are ok? Let’s explore that thought.
The Problem with Traditional Sensors
Traditional safety sensors, also known as OEM sensors, come standard with most garage doors openers. While they offer some level of protection, they have significant flaws. Here are 3 reason why I think that is the case:
Limited Coverage: OEM sensors only protect a small area at the bottom of the garage door, leaving a large unprotected area where accidents can occur. Per manufacturer specs, these OEM sensors should be installed just 6 inches above the floor near the garage door tracks. That’s not enough protection.
False Positives: OEM sensors are prone to false positives, which can be frustrating and inconvenient for homeowners. A false positive could come from debris, items in the garage, and even sunlight.
Vulnerability to Damage: OEM sensors are often fragile and can be easily damaged by weather or accidental impact.
These flaws can make OEM safety sensors unreliable and ineffective in preventing garage door accidents.
