Safety

Regardless of the region you live in within the United States, you’ve no doubt experienced a power outage at some point during your life. Heavy winds and lightning generally don’t pose a problem until the severity of them leads to a loss of electricity, in which case they become a major burden. Small privileges that were once an afterthought soon turn to precious commodities, we all of a sudden can’t live without.

Ahhhh… home! There’s no place like it, right? Especially when you’re headed there after a long, exhausting day and you want to get out of the cold, dark winter weather into your cozy, warm home. You pull up into your driveway and hit the garage remote button without thinking twice. (Oh, the things we take for granted.) But… wait… something is wrong! You push it over and over, even getting out of the car to hold it closer to the door. Nothing is happening! You know the remote batteries are fine because you just checked them a couple of days ago. Your heart sinks as you realize you need to reprogram your LiftMaster by Chamberlain garage door opener.

We aren’t talking about not having fun on your beach vacation. We’re talking about the spring in your garage door breaking, which can cause a host of problems, and could even be dangerous.

Chances are good that most of your family uses the interior garage door to access your home. It’s becoming more and more common these days. The front door is largely left unused.

We live in a very technology-driven age and that means that usually when we need information, we look online.

Most people do not give the garage door more than a moment’s thought. Even though they might use the garage door every day when they’re taking the car out and coming back in at the end of the day, even though they might use the exterior control panel to open the door so they get into the house; people don’t stop to think much about the garage door. The only time they do bother to think about it is when something is going wrong. Of course, when something is wrong with a garage door, there is a very good chance that it is no longer safe.
