Garage Door Accidents: More Common Than You Think

If you watch any TV, you've likely seen a sitcom or two where one of the characters have accidentally crashed their car into the garage door. This type of accident isn't just the butt of a joke -- it actually happens quite a bit.

Here are a few photos featuring garage doors that went head on with cars, trucks -- even Oscar Mayer Weiner Mobiles -- and lost badly. These people need garage door replacements.

Automatic Garage Doors Offer Safety Benefits

Have you ever hurt yourself pulling or pushing your garage door? It can be a burden – and bad on the back – to have to operate a manual garage door, especially when it’s raining and snowing. Manual garage doors also leave your home with a serious security risk, as burglars can gain entry much easier than they would with an automatic garage door. Automatic doors make your home much more secure, and are easier to operate. Here are some other big benefits to automatic garage doors:
  • You won’t have to step out of the car to open or close the door. You can open it as you pull into your driveway, which is especially helpful when the weather is cold.
  • Your home’s appeal and security will be increased. Many automatic doors can be linked to your home’s security system, and an alarm will sound if a burglar ever tries to get into your garage.
  • Automatic doors are offered in a wide variety, giving you a wide range of ways to make your home more appealing. Steel doors are durable and not in need of as much maintenance. Wooden doors are great for those who want a natural look, and can be painted or varnished to make it more beautiful and durable.

When you are in the market for a new garage door, you need to think of the safety of your family. Automatic garage doors from Minneapolis garage door installation company Premium Garage Door Service can do the trick. Learn more at www.PremiumGarageDoorService.com

Garage Door Repair FAQs

Here are some of the more common questions we get about garage door repair services:

How long does a typical garage door opener last?
You should expect an average lifespan of eight to 10 years, but some last three years and 25 or more for others.

My garage door makes a lot of noise. Why?
It’s most likely the result of the usual wear and tear on the rollers, hinges and bearings. Excessive use over time will cause squeaks, vibrations and hums.

I’ve pushed the opener button, but it does nothing. What can I do?
Make sure the opener is still plugged in, and that power is coming from the socket to the opener. If power is being transferred, then it could be either a mechanical or electrical problem that should be diagnosed by a qualified garage door service tech.

Garage Door Opener FAQ

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions we get about garage door openers:

My garage door opener won’t do anything when the button is pushed. What should I do?
Is the opener still plugged in? Is there power coming from the outlet? If the answer to both of these questions is yes, then you should call your garage door contractor to have the look more into the matter.

The light comes on, but the opener isn’t doing anything. What can I do?
It’s most likely a problem in the electrical or mechanical workings. Remove the motor head cover (be sure to first unplug the operator). However, it’s best to have a professional look into the issue.

Both transmitters died at the same time. Is this because of the batteries?
It’s more likely an issue with the radio receiver in the garage, or inside the operator itself. Contact a professional to have them look into the issue.

Why do I have to hold the wall button down to get my garage door to close?
Probably because of a blockage, misalignment or malfunction in the safety beams. If there are any objects in the signal’s way, move them and verify the lights are lit per the manufacturer’s directions. If so, contact your garage door company to have them look into the issue.

My garage door is crooked in opening. Why?
One of the cables probably can off. Do not touch them until you have a professional look into the matter.
