GARAGE OPENER
If you’re thinking about an automatic garage door opener, then maybe you already know a bit about them, or perhaps you know nothing and think it’s just a luxury.
Here are just some of the benefits of an automatic garage door opener
Convenience
One of the main benefits of an automatic garage door opener is convenience. You can stay in your car until you’re in (or out of) your garage, so you don’t have to get out of your car to open or close your garage.
You won’t need to leave your children or dog in the car, or go outside in bad weather just to open or close your garage door.
Lighting
Modern automatic garage door openers are available with built-in lights to will illuminate your garage or the path to your garage. This tye of lighting can be invaluable at night, in the winter or in bad weather.
Security
Garage security is of paramount importance, and so you’ll want to make sure that your automatic garage door opener helps to keep your family, home, and possessions safe.
Look for openers with rolling codes, which change each time the remote button is pressed, and mean only you can get access to your garage.
Another feature you may want is Vacation Mode, which disables the remote controls. This means that your garage door can only be opened from the inside. Opportunistic thieves or burglars won’t be able to access your garage or your home even with a remote control code scanner.
Safety
You won’t need to worry about the garage door crashing down on something or somebody in the way, or fingers getting caught anywhere.
For those with a medical condition such as arthritis, or young children, one of these could be essential.
Automatic closing
Automatic closing means that you won’t need to get out of your car to close the door, or remember to press the button on your remote; your garage door opener can close itself too.
This is ideal if you have children, and often forget to close your garage door or get to work, and worry that you may not have closed your garage.
Low energy use
Although automatic garage door openers can be highly advanced and technical, they do not need a lot of power to work. This makes them highly cost-effective to run and less damaging to the environment.
If you or a family member suffers from a medical condition or simply hasn’t got the strength to open or close a big heavy garage door, an automatic garage door opener will be worthwhile.
Technology
Modern garage door openers are available with various features and facilities to provide you with more convenience. Some other other benefits of an automatic garage door opener include the ability to be controlled by smart phone apps. These enable you to ensure your door is closed, wherever you are, or to sound an alarm to let you know your door is open.
Maintenance
One of the benefits of an automatic garage door opener is that it doesn’t require much maintenance, but you’ll want to keep yours in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations so that it always works when you need it to.
Cost
Despite their convenience and features, automatic garage doors are relatively inexpensive to buy and fit.
When you think about what they offer, and what they mean to a family with a couple of cars, kids who keep their bikes in the garage and who are concerned about security, they are an absolute bargain.
Peace of mind
Whether you simply want to know that your garage door is closed, have a medical condition, and can’t open your door yourself, or simply want to save a few minutes every day, an automatic garage door opener makes a lot of sense to many people.
What seems like an unnecessary luxury becomes invaluable if you use your garage a lot.
