Safety considerations and maintenance tips for motorized TV lifts
I’m finishing up a small remodel in my living room and added a motorized TV lift inside a cabinet. It works great, but since I’ve never owned anything like this before, I’m a bit nervous about long-term safety. I’ve got kids who love pushing buttons, and I don’t want the lift jamming or the TV getting knocked around because of rough use. Does anyone have tips on what to check regularly or any habits that help keep the lift running safely?

I had the same worry when I installed mine a while back. What helped was doing a quick monthly check—basically making sure nothing gets caught inside the cabinet and verifying the movement stays smooth. When I was researching, I came across https://www.progressiveautomations.com/collections/tv-lifts, which gave me a pretty solid idea of how these lifts are designed to avoid pinch points and overloading. One thing I’d really recommend is making sure the mounting bolts don’t loosen over time. Kids pressing buttons isn’t usually a big deal, but if the lift ever moves slower or starts making odd noises, I’d pause using it and inspect the mechanics.
