I did a home inspection the other day and found that the home owner was using an extension cord to power the garage door opener. This is a no, no and needs its own electrical plug.
Extension cords should not be used as permanent wiring. The sheathing is not designed to be stapled into place and the wire gauge is usually smaller than conventional household wiring. Extension cords are usually 16 or 18 gauge. Cords may cause fires if they are stapled to baseboards or run through windows and doors or under carpets.
