My brother lost his garage door opener last week. Since then, he’s been stuck using the non-remote garage door opener inside the garage. Every time he wants to open the garage, he has to get out of the car, unlock the front door, and walk through his house and into the garage to push the big white button next to the light switch just inside the door. Sure, the garage door opens which is, of course, the ultimate goal, but it’s such a hassle that he’s started parking in the driveway. Unfortunately, his HOA frowns on driveway parking.
We’ve been searching everywhere for the garage door remote. It isn’t in his car. We’ve looked in the front seat, in the back seat, under the seats, and in the trunk. We’ve even looked under the floor mats. Nothing! Where else would a garage door opener be? We explored the idea that the remote control may have fallen out the window on a particularly sharp turn. If that’s the case, it’s surely lost forever.
I think it’s time to start looking for a new garage door remote. I saw a show once, a hyped-up expose on a late night news program, revealing how easy it is to program a garage door opener. All we need to do is drive down to the store, buy a nice model, and follow the direction on the box – and, voila, he’ll have a fully functional garage door opener again.
