Underestimating the importance of a garage door means you are compromising the home security and ignoring the burglar threats. After all, it’s a second entry of the home. If it will not open & the keys are not with you; you might get trapped outside. If your door will not close; you might invite unwanted guests at night when you are sleeping. You might get socked that your car or important stuff is stolen. In short, a damaged garage door can cause a life-threatening injury to you.
Here we come with few statistics and other stuff that will give you the answer to the question “why your garage door should be up to date?”
As an estimate, more than 12,500 garage door injuries happen every year alone in the U.S.A. Few of them are life-threatening.
More than 2,000 injuries are caused just because of a sudden fall of a garage door and attempting to get in or out of the garage when a door is closing. How silly these people are who race against the falling door. The common reason behind such injuries is the lack of safety features or they aren’t working properly.
Around 1,500 injuries are from spring snap, glass and other sharp edges.
Don’t forget to close the garage door while leaving home. Do you know that more than 45% of all residential heists have been done and the entry point of the burglars is an unsecured or an open garage door?
