Video: Battery Backups for Garage Door Motors

HAYWARD — Host, Sarah Rutan: If you’re planning to replace your garage door or garage door motor, there’s a new legal requirement you should be aware of. Today we’re in Hayward with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Ata Salem of Ace’s Garage Door Repair & Installation to learn more.

Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Ata Salem: As of July 1st, 2019, Senate Bill 969 was passed, which demands that all new installations have a battery backup in the motor. Do not get a motor that does not have a battery backup as it will fail building inspection and the building code. It is provided through the health and safety code of California due to all the earthquakes and fires that happen here, unfortunately. It will save a life.
