What safety features are available on a garage door opener?

All garage door openers sold today must have in-built safety features which prevent the door from closing if an obstruction is detected. Many also have an auto-reverse and anti-drop system; others have more child friendly features such as pinch proof panels to ensure the maximum safety of your family. Obviously care should still be taken with your opener, encouraging children not to play near the garage door and keeping pets a safe distance away.

How do I choose the right garage door opener?

In order to choose the suitable door opener, you have to determine the construction first and the size or dimension of your garage door. Doing so will help you a lot in determining the type of drive and size of the motor required for lifting the door. Additionally, you should also measure the clearances on the sides and on top of the door opening. This will help you identify where to mount the door opener.  Ideally, there should be enough clearance or space in the area surrounding the door opener. It should not hit any solid structure when it opens. Besides this, it is also recommended to know the features, safety devices and other accessories of your chosen garage door system.

Should I get rollup or sectional doors?

The choice of garage doors has to do with the space at your property. Sectional doors are practical and easy to be replaced in sections but you must have the appropriate space in the ceiling. Otherwise, choose a roll up that won't need space at all.
