 Most modern homes feature electric or automated garage doors. These models are clearly superior to their manual predecessors: for one thing, you don't have to worry about locking them every time you leave your home. They are also the only option for physically disabled individuals who cannot open a large, heavy garage door. As with most things, however, there is a trade-off. While manual versions are incredibly durable and require little maintenance, electric models can and sometimes do break down. Why? Although their construction and operation seems simple, there are actually several things that can go wrong with automated models - especially when they're connected to an electric opener. Simple Troubleshooting Tip The first thing any concerned homeowner should do is pull the release cord or lever that hangs from the electric motor. This will allow you to open the door manually. If you can pull it up and down on its tracks, then you know the problem is the motor, not the struc...

Some have multiple panels, some are single size. They can also be metal or wood and have custom windows, locks, and just about any security accessory you can think of.
