Your garage door can affect your life in ways you can’t predict, especially if it’s reaching the end of its days. Garage doors that open too slowly, fail to respond, hesitate or torture you by bouncing repeatedly for no apparent reason can cause chaos in your carefully planned day. Here are a few instances when having a fast, reliable garage door is especially important.
The Need for Speed
• Speed is essential when you have to use the bathroom. It never fails: when you have a desperate need to relieve yourself, your garage door will not only become slower than turtles stampeding through peanut butter, it’ll choose this moment to perform in a bizarre, unexplainable manner or fail to perform at all. It’s not easy to open a garage door manually with your legs crossed.
• Sometimes you need to get inside because your neighbors are outside. We’ve all had at least one annoying neighbor who constantly accosts us after work, and talks about the love lives of everyone on the block, or shares every intimate detail of their doctor’s visit. If your garage door is fast enough, you don’t even have to make eye contact.
• Your dinner is in jeopardy. Perhaps leaving a souffle in the oven while you run errands isn’t the wisest household decision, but sometimes it just happens. If the cashier at the grocery store is as slow as your garage door, you’ll need to get back home and inside fast before your smoke alarm scares the neighbor who’ll never stop talking about it.
