Safety

 

 
 
 
 
Martin Doors safety features unsurprisingly surpass the design and technology of other garage door standards and products. Listed below are a some examples of our incredible safety features. 

According to recent annual reports by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, garage doors are a leading cause of serious hand and finger injuries in the U.S.  This information should be of immediate concern to all door companies, builders, architects, contractors, homeowners, building owners etc.  The garage door is the largest and heaviest moving item on the home! 


Finger Shield
At times, manual operation is necessary in the event of a power failure or opener failure. When this occurs, you run the risk of accidentally putting your fingers in the wide-open section joint and getting them lacerated, crushed, amputated, etc. The Fingershield helps to avoid these risks.
 
 
Reverse Angle Shield
The gap between the wall and the track is another place where hands or arms could be seriously injured. The Reverse Angle Shield covers that gap. It also serves as a superior mounting system that, until now, was only used in commercial applications.
 
 
Roller Shields
Often, children play around garage doors and put their fingers in the exposed are of garage door tracks.  The Martin Roller Shield will push fingers out and away from the roller. Additionally, the sharp edge of the track is now hemmed or rolled for added safety and strength.
 
 
 
 
No large holes in tracks
Many garage doors have large holes in their tracks which are used for installation and mounting.  This poses another risk of injury to fingers.  The Martin track has no large holes or spaces for fingers to fit into.
 
 

By purchasing a Martin Door, you are ensuring safety and preventing injury to both children and adults.
