electric garage doors

A garage door is quite heavy and can cause serious injury or in rare cases of death, so it is imperative that protective devices are properly installed on it. Door sensors should be set to automatically revert the door if something is underneath it. Motion sensors should also be installed near the bottom to detect any movement and automatically recognize the door.

Look for security features that prevent unauthorized access to the garage, such as a good quality keyboard that denies access if you don’t know the security code. Another thing you can do if you’re away for a while is to turn off the power to the garage door opener. Using a smart garage door opener will also increase the safety of your garage.

Equipment options … Garage door openers are more than just pressing a button, look for one that will also provide keyless input options and more than one remote for other users. You’ll appreciate the keyless input panel, especially if you don’t have a remote control. If you have a smart device for opening garage doors, a keyboard is still a good option if you need garage access and your phone is in the house.

Look for a garage door opener that has two lights, usually one in the front and one in the back, depending on the opener. Usually, the interior lighting in the garage is not lit, so the presence of additional lamps when opening and closing the door is very convenient. Most openers allow the user to program the time during which these bulbs remain on.

Warranty… Choose a garage door opener that has a lifetime warranty on the engine and drive system, whether it’s a chain or a belt. Some warranties may apply to certain parts for longer periods of time. Before purchasing, read the warranty information for your garage door opener. You can usually just “Google” open and retrieve this information online while you’re doing your research. This information is usually available in PDF format from the manufacturer’s website.

Support and assistance … Having good customer service is vital if you need help with installation or ask questions. “Automation +” is a good place to get information about a specific garage door opening device.
