Consider Replacing Your Garage Door Opener

If you have been hanging on to your old and outdated garage door opener, it may be time to consider the alternatives. With recent improvements in technology, there are many benefits of upgrading your garage door system.

Better Security

Old garage door openers lack a rolling code feature that changes the code each time the door is opened by the remote. This prevents an eavesdropping burglar from recording your remote's transmission when you use it and then replaying the transmission to open your door when you aren't around.

Some of the newer systems include a timer that closes the door after a set time has elapsed. This means the door doesn't stay open when you forget to close it. Another type of safety feature is the smartphone connection that allows you to remotely open or close your garage door. It's useful when you aren't sure if your door is closed or when you need to let someone inside. If your door is opened while you are away, it will send you an alert.

Smooth System

Overall, new garage door openers operate much smoother and quieter than old systems. You may be used to the unpleasant loud noises that result from opening and closing your garage door. Due to numerous advances over the years, garage door openers now function much more quietly!
