A garage door safety test checklist proves the photo eyes work, the door reverses on a block of wood, and the release is reachable.
Families park under a door that still opens, then find out the hard way that auto-reverse died last year.
Why This Happens
The remote still clicks, so the door feels fine. The reverse test is the step nobody runs until something is already under it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a spring repair guide?
No. This garage door safety test checklist is the reverse, the eyes, and the release. Torsion springs and cables belong to a trained tech.
What if the door does not reverse?
Stop using it and call a garage-door company. Do not keep testing with your body.
How often should I test?
Once a season, and again if a ball, a bike, or a car bumper hits the door.
Can I disconnect the opener and leave it?
Only to test the balance. Reconnect it with the door down so nobody pulls a loose door by surprise.
