Have you been thinking about buying a garage door opener but do not know if it is the right time? You are definitely not the only one who feels that way about such a big financial move. A lot of people delay the purchase of a garage door opener for various reasons. We feel the need to go over those reasons, and whether or not they are good reasons. Some are petty while others make perfect sense. Honestly, there are some longtime homeowners who have had a garage door for decades who still don’t have a garage door opener. So why might that be? Why do some homeowners rush into buying one? We will get to that.

Economic Pains

It is true that the United States Stock Market really does have an effect on everything. The bottom line is that if you do not have the money for a garage door opener, then you are probably not going to buy one. Sure, there are financing options, but with a market that has been in the tank up until recently, you, like many other people are probably in some sort of debt. Whether it be medical debt, credit card debt, or some other kind of money owed, it is there. Maybe you are just living paycheck to paycheck because A gallon of milk is better than five dollars a gallon in most States. This is a perfectly valid reason for delaying that garage door opener installation.

Just Can’t Pick The Right One 

There are your classic garage door openers and your screw-drive garage door openers. There are plenty of different makes and models of each. There are, of course, even other types of garage door openers. How do you choose the right one? Well, your preferred garage door service should be able to help with that, but sometimes they just make it more confusing. This is another valid reason for not getting one right away.

Just Plain Stubborn

Okay, garage door openers are definitely more of a want than a need for a large part of the population. Obviously, older folks and people suffering from a disability are naturally in dire need of a garage door opener. A lot of business owners need a garage door opener but do not want to spend the money on one. That, and the elderly refusing to buy something they need is what we call stubbornness. Which is not a valid reason for not buying a garage door opener and having it installed.
