High-Tech Features for Your Garage Door

Once upon a time, an automatic garage door opener was the most amazing accessory a homeowner could wish for. With just the push of a button, you could avoid getting in and out of the car every time you needed to open or close the garage door. It was practically a miracle!

Innovations in garage doors may have been slow in coming, but today’s technology has opened up a whole new world of amazing garage door accessories.

MyQ Connected Opener

Fans of smart devices will find the MyQ garage opener app to be indispensable. The MyQ Connected Opener is made of two parts. First, there is a sensor that is mounted to the actual garage door that detects whether the door is closed or open. The second component is placed on the garage ceiling above the garage door opener.

Once both parts are synced, users access the Smartphone app and follow instructions to open their doors from a phone or tablet.

MyQ is more than just handy. It also adds a layer of security to your home by alerting you when the door is left open. And if you need to give someone access to the garage when you’re not home, the app lets you open and close the door remotely.

The MYQ app offers homeowners total control of their garage doors. You can even determine exactly how long the door should remain open, instructing the closer to automatically close after a set period of time.

Keyless Entry System

If you’ve ever had to call a garage door repair technician in the middle of the night because you lost your remote control, you’ll appreciate the security of a keyless entry system. Keyless systems also improve security, as there is no need to share keys with friends or house sitters.

Battery Backup

An automatic garage door opener only works if the power is on—unless you have battery backup installed. Battery backup systems are especially important during emergencies. Backup systems are small and easy to place if you’re retrofitting an existing garage door. However, they must coordinate with your existing brand of door.
