# Safety Measures For a Smoother Door Installation Process 


Your new garage door is almost ready to be installed! How can you ensure a smooth garage door and opener installation when hiring a professional? Several simple steps simplify matters for you and the [**new garage door installation**](https://) staff.
## Move your cars
To complete the installation, the installers will want unobstructed access to the whole garage. During the new garage door installation, kindly store your automobiles somewhere other than the garage if you keep them there. You can arrange for them to park on the street or at least a safe distance away from your driveway so that your installer can safely back their vehicle up to the garage entrance.
## Clear out your garage
The garage as a whole does not have to be immaculate for this to apply. In addition to relocating the vehicles, please clear the area around the garage of any tools, equipment, garbage cans, bicycles, or anything else that could cause a problem. This will make sure that your possessions are not inadvertently destroyed during the [**garage door installation**](https://) procedure and will also provide your installers with enough area to work. For a normal residential garage door, allow 14 feet behind and 1 foot on either side of the track. You should store valuables somewhere safe. 
## Keep pets and teenagers away from the workspace
Please ensure that any pets you may have are in a secure location throughout the installation. When consumers let their pets roam freely during the garage door installation, it may be quite a hassle. The installer and the pet are both put in danger by this. Also, make sure kids are playing away from the workspace. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that the home's occupants and themselves are safe while working there. During the process of removing and installing your garage door, you will need to move large objects, things that hang overhead, as well as tools, both manual and powered.
