Garage Door Openers, The things that close the deal
– By #South Dakota Overhead Doors
Technology has drastically improved the quality of many home trends, including garage door opening systems. Gone are the days of boring old openers you Velcro to the visor in your car, only to be pressed and forgotten. There are many new features available, and you deserve every one of them! But how do you pick which one is right for you?
Both garage doors, and openers can last for different lifespans, and can be customizable for your needs, so they are sold separately to make sure you are getting what you want and need during your journey. Here are a few things you can prioritize to help find the right garage door opener for you:
- Account for the size and weight of your door, and what that will require power-wise from your opener
- Consider the location of your garage in terms of living (or more accurately, sleeping) spaces
- Consider the lighting in your garage and if you need a motion-sensor light
- Do you have more than one garage door in the mix? If so, you may need to consider getting an opener with more than one transmitter
- Assess how often you open and close or start and stop your door
So many things you never knew you should think about!
Another thing to take into consideration is the kinds of garage door systems available. We carry the full line of LiftMaster Operators, so whether you’re looking for a chain drive or belt drive, we’ve got you covered!
