We were glad to provide and install  2 Amarr Stratford 3000 pinch resistant garage doors for NBC's hit series Chicago Fire recently. Filming was performed on location on Chicago's north side. We are told the episode featuring these garage doors will air 04/03/2013. Without giving away the plot we can reveal that an individual is severely injured by one of the 2 garage doors and is found hanging from the garage door track. Maybe he should have followed all of those safety warnings on the label!

This week many of are customers in the Chicago area are on spring break. If you are going to be out of town and NOT using your garage door you may consider unplugging the motor unit from the outlet on the ceiling in the garage. This will prevent anyone from using the garage door in your absence. You can also use the mechanical slide lock on the inside of your garage door (if equipped) to act as a deadbolt lock. Be sure that you disconnect the power before using the manual lock to prevent damage to the door or garage door opener upon your return if you forget that you locked the door.

Garage Door Co Repair Pros will be providing emergency service only on 09/03/2012 in observance of the Labor Day holiday. We  encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on our founding fathers and the meaning on the holiday. In these tough times for many it is good to remember our freedoms, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. Although many politicians will be in parades there are too many of them (both local and national) that need to read our Constitution and Bill of Rights to remember that they represent US not their own personal interests.
