This also is important when you are at home. I have accidentally left the garage door up all night before.sjfcontrol wrote:I do this all the time. My wife thinks I'm crazy.

Otherwise you might come home to a terrifying surprise...Anyone ever come home and find the garage door up and you don't know why? If something fell over and got in the way, the door hits it on the way down and goes back up. If a cat runs under it as it's closing and breaks the beam, it goes back up. If it's a little out of adjustment, it may go down and right back up. Always make sure the thing is down and staying down before you drive out of sight.
Then I bought a garage door monitor (pictured below) several years ago and placed it on my nightstand.
A blinking red light will indicate that the door is open.
