THE door industry journal spring 2022 Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Stevens. “It’s important to note that an automated garage door is, in fact, a machine and should be treated as such if injuries to people and pets are to be avoided.” dhf has, for many years, advised the industry on the interpretation of standards associated with garage door safety, and the legislation surrounding this. It is the first time the federation has produced such a video, but in so doing, the organisation can reach a much wider market and educate the consumer as to what they should look for as standard when selecting a new garage door, and about the safety feature known as hold-to-run. “We have been particularly concerned that some providers who are not dhf members have been selling illegal products and offering safety as an additional feature instead of as standard,” adds Patricia. “A dhf member will always put safety first and dhf remains committed to placing only safe, compliant products on the market that are fit for purpose. Our advice to the consumer is this: please check what safety devices are applied as standard when purchasing an automated domestic garage door, and speak to a dhf member ahead of purchase, should you require guidance on safety and installation.” To view the video in full, visit https://bit.ly/3n4uwdz
