There are many different 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 shut, requiring you to leave your auto or products needing storing outdoors, susceptible to burglars, or bad weather.

A door that becomes stuck halfway is also a safety and security issue.

If you accidentally backed your car into your door when attempting to back out of the garage and damaged the panels in the process, try to stay calm. Many individuals have done this, mistakenly pressing the gas pedal instead of the brake. In areas with icy winters, it's common for people to slide on a frozen driveway and collide into the garage door.
