Do you want a new garage door for your home? The average garage door opens and closes 3 to 5 times a day, totaling about 1,500 times a year. If you take good care of your garage door, it can live up to 30 years. Its automatic opener will last around 10 to 12 years. It means you can enjoy a well-functioning garage door for decades. However, that is if you install it correctly in the first place.
