Garage Door Inspection DVD Created for InterNACHI Members

 

Cleveland, OH – North America’s two garage door associations have joined forces to produce a 14-minute training DVD for InterNACHI members. This professionally produced DVD, released to home inspectors in March, was developed by leading garage door engineers and technicians, with input from several professional home inspectors.

 

“Home inspectors have often asked for this kind of training,” says Chris Long, IDA’s managing director. “We realize that home inspectors play a pivotal role in disseminating reliable safety information to homeowners at a crucial time.”

 

The DVD demonstrates how to conduct a thorough inspection of a typical sectional garage door and garage door opener. The 10-point inspection, which covers all critical safety issues, can be conducted in less than five minutes.

 

The DVD was funded and created through a joint effort of the International Door Association (IDA) and DASMA. IDA represents garage door dealers, and DASMA represents the garage door and garage door opener manufacturers.

 

In recent months, DASMA and IDA presented a preview of the DVD to home inspector audiences in Providence, R.I., and Memphis, Tenn. Joe Hetzel, DASMA’s technical director, says, “Home inspectors were impressed with how this quick inspection can help them spot potential safety problems.”

 

The DVD/checklist is approved for 30 minutes of continuing education at InterNACHI.

 

The DVD includes a 10-point checklist that can be printed from a computer. A copy of the DVD can be purchased for $15 from IDA (800) 355-4432, info@longmgt.com) or DASMA (815) 285-3861, dasma@dasma.com). Bulk pricing is available.
