Springs and Counterbalance: The Part That Can End Your Business
$99.00 GST
A garage door counterbalance system holds enough stored energy to kill, and the warning signs are usually on the door before you touch it.
This one hour CPD course for installers and service technicians covers how to read springs, cables, drums and brackets, when to stop work, the tools and positioning that keep you out of the load path, and the records that protect you afterwards.
Fully online and self paced. Your certificate is issued the moment you finish and is stored in your account.

You will understand how to assess a door before starting work, recognise situations where it is unsafe to proceed, and make informed decisions about when work should stop. You will also learn how correct tools, safe positioning and effective risk assessment can help protect you and others while working around loaded systems. By the end of the course, you will understand how clear documentation, photographs and same-day records can help protect you professionally while demonstrating a higher standard of service to your customers.
