Protecting Pets and Garage Door Openers Whenever you install any mechanism or electronic device in your house, it is important to ensure the safety of your family, above all  else. To pet-owners, pets are part of the family and it’s their responsibility to take the time and precaution to prevent unnecessary tragedies. Having a garage door opener is a great convenience to a family that uses the car often. But, with a little effort, you can make sure that no family member - whether adults, children or pets – get hurt. Most garage doors are already fitted with sensors that detect obstructions  automatically and stop the garage door from slamming shut. These sensors not only protect children and small animals, they also prevent damage to your car  if the door starts closing before you pull in or out of the garage. You should never try to de-activate these sensors. There are far too many tragic cases of pet-owners finding their pets injured or dead because of theirgarage doors. Pets are unpredictable, but if you take a few seconds to be extra careful, you could  prevent harm to your pet. Before you close the garage door with the remote, take the time to check that your pet is not in or around the vicinity, and  won’t become trapped under the door. Cats are especially at risk because of their tendency to explore and hide in new spaces. There have been cases of owners who found their cats hurt because they were sitting on top of the open door, and the owner  closed the door only to trap the cat. They also might try to slip under a door just as it is closing, and become crushed under the weight.
