If you remember the days before automatic garage doors, you probably enjoy having the remote garage door openers today. There are several reasons that these remote openers should be used. Some have to do with convenience but safety can be a factor too.

It used to be that the garages were totally separate from the homes, and located at the end of the driveway in the backyard. There were no remote garage door openers then to help you open the garage doors. You had to get out of your car and not only open the doors but first manually unlock them. This was really a hassle at times.

Now on a sunshiny day this was not a huge problem. But in the darkness of night it was a problem to see for one thing. Also if it was raining you would get drenched while trying to get the door open. You were definitely glad to finally get the car in the garage and get into your house!

The houses started being built with the garages attached finally. Then the automatic garage doors came into being and made getting into the garage more convenient.
