There are dozens of things which could fail with your garage door at any time. It could get stuck open, causing a serious security issue. It could get stuck closed, making it to where you must leave your auto or things needing storage outdoors, susceptible to thieves, or inclement weather. Worse yet, it could get stuck closed with your automobile inside, and you may not be able to go to your job or an important place. A door that becomes stuck halfway is also a safety and security problem.

If you unintentionally backed your car into your door when attempting to back out of the garage and harmed the panels in the process, try to stay clear headed. Many individuals have done this, unintentionally pushing down on the gas pedal 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.
