Most people have stood in front of a shut garage door, which refuses to open, at least once in their lives. No matter how many times they press the garage door clicker, the door just doesn't open. This is an awkward situation, which is basically irritating when you are in a hurry to get somewhere and might also become dangerous when you are locked out of the garage. In this case, you might wonder about the security of your car if you leave it parked outside and may be frightened yourself if it's dark. Though, the most important thing is being prepared for similar situations and knowing the basic reasons, which may cause the immobilization of the door.
