The building in which I work custodial is ADA-complaint, but the more I look, the more I realize that it's really bad at being accessible in a lot of ways. [laundry list of complaints removed]

The designers weren't thinking about how to clean some of this stuff, and they weren't thinking about people who can't use both hands or can't see well. :P they should talk to me. I'd have suggestions.

How Secure Is Your Garage Door? Tips to Keep Intruders Out

When most homeowners think about home security, they focus on doors, windows, and alarm systems—but often forget one of the most vulnerable entry points: the garage door. Whether attached or detached, your garage can be a target for thieves looking for easy access to your home or valuables.

If you’re wondering how secure your garage door really is, here are practical tips to tighten security and keep intruders out.

1. Keep Your Garage Door Opener Out of Sight

Never leave your remote clipped to your car visor. It’s like leaving a house key in plain sight. Instead, keep it on your keychain or use a smart garage door opener that connects to your smartphone.

2. Upgrade to a Smart Garage Door Opener

Smart garage door systems allow you to monitor, open, or close your garage from anywhere using an app. Many also send real-time alerts if your door is opened unexpectedly. If your opener is over 10 years old, upgrading may be a smart (and secure) move.

3. Reinforce the Emergency Release

Thieves know how to exploit the emergency release cord to manually open the door from the outside—especially on older models. A simple solution is to secure the release with a zip tie or install a shield to block access, without disabling the safety function.

4. Install Motion-Activated Lighting

A well-lit garage is a great deterrent. Install motion-sensor lights near your garage entrance or driveway. Intruders hate being seen and will likely move on if they feel exposed.

5. Always Lock the Interior Door

If your garage is attached to your home, don’t forget to lock the door that connects them. Use a deadbolt or smart lock, just like you would on your front door.

6. Schedule Regular Inspections

Even the strongest door won’t keep intruders out if the parts are failing. Loose tracks, broken locks, or malfunctioning openers can all compromise your security. That’s why homeowners should schedule regular maintenance with a trusted professional. If you’re local, a garage door repair West Palm Beach service can inspect and reinforce your system for peace of mind.

Final Thoughts

Your garage door is more than just a convenience—it’s a security barrier. Taking a few simple precautions can make a big difference in keeping your home and family safe. From tech upgrades to routine checks, every step helps.

If you’re unsure about the condition or safety of your garage door, contact a certified garage door repair West Palm Beach technician to assess your setup and recommend improvements. Don’t wait until something goes wrong to take action.

How to Orient Your Sensors for the Garage Door

Pull the rope out once you are certain that the sensors are in perfect alignment. Turn on your garage now so you may test the sensors once more. The garage door will operate precisely once all of the sensors are in line. Since aligning your garage sensors might take a lot of time, it is best to get help from a garage door specialist. Any garage door question you may have can be answered by York Garage Door Guys.

Orienting your sensors correctly for a garage door is crucial for both safety and smooth operation. Here’s a clear step-by-step guide:

1. Understand the Purpose of the Sensors

Garage door sensors (photo-eyes) are safety devices. They detect if anything is blocking the door when closing — preventing accidents or damage.

2. Positioning Basics

Height: Sensors must be mounted no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the ground.

Alignment: They must be positioned directly across from each other on both sides of the door — at the same height.

3. Orient the Sensors Properly

Face the Lenses Toward Each Other:  The sending sensor (emitter) and the receiving sensor must point directly at one another without obstruction.

Check for a Steady Light:  Most sensors have an indicator light. A steady (solid) light typically means they are aligned correctly; a blinking or off light indicates misalignment.

4. Mounting Tips

Use the provided brackets attached to the vertical rails of the door or the wall.

Tighten securely but don’t overtighten — sensors can shift if the brackets are bent or loose.

Use a Level if necessary to ensure both sensors are perfectly straight.

5. Fine-Tuning Alignment

Adjust the angle slightly left or right until the sensor lights turn solid.

Wiggle Test: Tap the bracket lightly; if the sensor light flickers, tighten the mount more securely.

6. Final Testing

Test closing the door with nothing blocking the sensors — it should close smoothly.

Block the beam with an object (like a broom) — the door should stop closing and reverse immediately.

Basically, any instance you can think of of "surely, they didn't do this in the mines", they absolutely did do in the mines.

Children whose job was to crawl through tiny tunnels hauling minecarts? Absolutely, it's cheaper to make smaller tunnels, so you need smaller people. They also have jobs like "sit alone in the dark and open and close the air vent. If you fall asleep, you get beaten, and possibly everyone in the mines below you dies." You don't even have to pay them as much as adult men.

Bringing birds into the mines as living gas detectors? Of course, the birds have tiny, sensitive lungs and if your bird dies, that means it's time to get the fuck out. Miners actually would become so attached to their canaries that Canary Rescue Devices were invented to be able to lock the cage airtight and pump a little tiny tank of fresh air into it to hopefully save them.

The most terrifying moving ladders possible? It's called the Man-Engine.

Doesn't look too bad, but here's a real one.

There's usually no other way in or out, and you don't start getting paid until you reach the bottom, so don't dawdle. It's powered by a waterwheel, so if you're in its way, it's not stopping, you're just getting crushed. It's also hanging from a single joint on each side. The Levant mine accident happened when that joint broke with over 100 men on the Man-Engine. Everyone that was on that side of the lift fell down the shaft, and dozens died. Most the ones that lived got lucky enough to land on top of the pile of bodies and it broke their fall softer than the solid rock, though they still had horrific injuries and were trapped at the bottom of hole in the dark, surrounded by corpses, for hours, until they could be rescued. And the people on the other half of the lift had to cling to the wooden beam for hours and hope that they didn't fall too. That is, the ones that weren't knocked off by falling bodies or the giant broken wooden structure that's collapsing next to you.

All the pictures I included are from the past, but rest assured, the mines aren't much better today, especially in places with lax labor laws. You can find plenty of photos and videos of modern children, as young as four, and possibly even younger, who are made to work in the mines, either due to effectively being enslaved or just by circumstances like extreme poverty. And before anyone starts thinking "oh, that's just third world countries, we're better than that over in the western world"... 1, most of those mines exist to supply us with things, like cobalt for batteries for electronics, and 2, we have child labor over here too. Migrant kids who work in the fields with their parents, poor kids paid under the table to work in factories, kids who's parents own a business and are allowed to put their child to work in it. Right-wing American politicians are even pushing to increase child labor in the USA.
