A new opener adds quiet operation, smartphone control, and modern safety features to your garage.
Types of Openers
Openers are commonly chain-drive, belt-drive, screw-drive, or direct-drive. Belt-drive units are prized for quiet operation, which suits garages under bedrooms, while chain-drive units are durable and economical. An installer helps match the drive type and horsepower to the size and weight of your door.
Smart and Safety Features
Modern openers include photo-eye safety sensors, rolling-code remotes that resist code theft, battery backup for outages, and smartphone connectivity so you can check and control the door from anywhere. Motion-activated lighting and keypad entry add everyday convenience and security.
Proper Setup
A correct installation includes mounting the unit securely, aligning the safety sensors, setting the open and close force limits, and programming remotes and keypads. The installer verifies the safety reversal works so the door stops and reverses if anything is in its path.
