These are not toys—these are garage door openers. Careless use and allowing children to play with or utilize garage door opener controls can have tragic results. The safety of garage doors should be discussed with your children. Give an explanation of the possibility of getting tangled beneath the door.

As you push the button or operate the transmitter, keep the door in your line of sight until it stops moving totally. Never let children play near or in a garage door that is open; instead, instruct them not to.

Children should be taught not to touch section joints, hinges, tracks, springs, or any other door component with their hands or fingers. If you come into contact with a moving door or its hardware, you could be at risk. Accidents like these can happen even with manual garage door openers.
