Tackling a DIY project can feel as satisfying as nailing that perfect high-five but beware; fixing garage doors is not always so straightforward. For simple tasks like lubricating the tracks or tightening hardware—sure thing. Roll up those sleeves and give yourself an encouraging pep talk.

But for bigger issues involving springs or cables—that's where things get dicey. These parts pack enough punch to turn an innocent repair into something resembling a scene from an action movie (minus the cool soundtrack). So unless you've got superhero training under your belt, leave these fixes to professionals who eat heavy-duty repairs for breakfast.

'Smart' has latched onto everything nowadays—watches, fridges, even toothbrushes—and now garages have joined the party too. Imagine telling your house to open the garage with just your voice as you pull into the driveway—a little taste of living in sci-fi reality.

The tech doesn't stop there; many systems also let you check whether you left the door open from miles away using just your phone—a real lifesaver if you tend to forget things quicker than putting milk back in the fridge after pouring cereal.
