How many times a day do you think your garage door gets used? In the morning, in the evening, for work. When the kids use it to take out their bikes or to get in the house when they come home from school. A little more on the weekends when you’re doing chores around the house and yard… On the average, people use their garage doors between 4 and 6 times each day—that’s 1,500 to 2,200 times per year.
