There are dozens of things which may go wrong with your garage door at any time. It could get stuck open, triggering a severe security danger. It could get stuck shut, requiring you to leave your car or products needing storage outdoors, open to thieves, or bad weather.

A door that becomes stuck half open is also a safety and security problem.

If you accidentally backed your car into your garage door when attempting to drive out of the garage and damaged the door in the process, try to relax.

In areas with icy winters, it's not uncommon for people to slide on a frozen driveway and collide into the garage door.
