How do we avoid entrapment?

Residential gate openers integrate the necessary safety sensors and reverse system so that the gate will stop and reverse in case someone is in its way when closing (or opening). So, the first thing our professionals suggest you should do is make sure the reverse mechanism works well. If parts of your clothes or children are entrapped and the system doesn't work, disengage the opener immediately to move the gate manually.
