Many people in the United Kingdom have got a garage, but very few of them actually use it. It is used for other purposes like a storage facility or a washroom where the washing machine goes. However, the incidences of car theft in the UK are increasing year on year and insurance companies are now rewarding drivers with reductions in their premium if they put their car in a garage at night. This new incentive means that more people are using the garage is now and if you’re one of those people, it is very likely that your old garage door isn’t up to the task.
