There are dozens of things which could go wrong with your garage door at any moment. It could get stuck open, causing a serious security issue. It could get stuck closed, requiring you to leave your car or items needing storage outside, susceptible to thieves, or bad weather. Worse yet, it could get stuck closed with your auto inside, and you may not be able to go to your job or an important appointment. A door that becomes stuck half open is also a safety and security issue.

If you by accident backed your car into your garage door when trying to back out of the garage and damaged the door in the process, try to relax. Many individuals have done this, mistakenly pushing down on the accelerator instead of the brake pedal. In areas with icy winters, it's not uncommon for people to slide on an ice covered driveway and smash into the garage door.
