There are a lot of things which could go wrong with your garage door at any moment. It could get stuck open, causing a security problem. It could get stuck shut, making it to where you must leave your auto or items needing storage outdoors, vulnerable to burglars, or inclement weather. Worse yet, it could get stuck shut with your auto inside, and you may not be able to arrive at your job or an important appointment. A door that becomes stuck half open is also a safety and security issue.

If you accidentally backed your automobile into your door when trying to drive out of the garage and hurt the panels in the process, try to stay clear headed.
