Yet, regrettably, frustrating things happen, and it may not always function as you hope.

There are a multitude of things which may 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 auto or things needing storage outside, vulnerable to burglars, or inclement weather. Worse yet, it could get stuck shut with your automobile inside, and you may not be able to go to your job or an important appointment. A door that becomes stuck midway is also a safety and security problem.

If you unintentionally backed your car into your door when trying to drive out of the garage and harmed the door in the process, try to stay clear headed. Many individuals have done this, mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake. In areas with icy winters, it's common for people to slide on a frozen driveway and smash into the garage door.
