Safety Reversal
Since 1993, federal safety regulations have mandated that all garage door openers must be equipped with an automatic safety reversal mechanism, marking a crucial milestone in garage door safety standards that has prevented countless accidents and injuries. This essential garage door safety feature became a requirement following numerous tragic incidents involving garage doors, making modern garage door openers significantly safer than older models. If your garage door opener and remote control system are more than 15 years old, it might be time for the safety upgrade that could protect your family, pets, and property from serious harm.
Modern garage door safety reversal systems use dual protection mechanisms. In addition to the safety sensors, some garage door openers also feature force-limit settings that detect unusual resistance during operation. If the garage door encounters an obstruction that doesn’t break the light beam, such as a low-profile object or mechanical malfunction, the force-limit safety feature will still trigger the reversal mechanism, providing redundant protection for your family’s safety.
Noise Control
New garage door openers operate significantly quieter than their predecessors, with advanced belt-drive models achieving whisper-quiet operation at just 33 decibels – comparable to the sound of a quiet library. In stark contrast, older chain-drive garage door openers typically generate 60 to 80 decibels of noise or greater. Modern garage door opener technology incorporates noise-reduction features that older models simply cannot match. Today’s premium garage door openers utilize gradual starting and stopping mechanisms that eliminate the two noisiest parts of the door cycle, while new motor designs and better-engineered drive systems minimize vibration and operational noise.
These newer garage door openers also operate up to twice as fast as older models, reducing the duration of noise exposure while providing quicker access to your garage. Belt-drive garage door openers, in particular, represent the pinnacle of quiet operation, using rubber belts instead of metal chains to virtually eliminate the grinding, clanking sounds that characterize older garage door opener systems.
If your current garage door opener disrupts sleep, disturbs neighbors, or creates excessive noise during operation, upgrading to a modern, quiet garage door opener system will transform your garage experience while adding value and convenience to your home. Our professional garage door opener installation services ensure optimal performance and noise reduction.
Battery Backup
The advantages of upgrading to a garage door opener with battery backup extend far beyond emergency situations, offering enhanced security and convenience for daily use. During power outages, homes without garage door battery backup systems can become vulnerable to security breaches. Battery backup garage door openers maintain their security features, like automatic locking mechanisms, and open/close notifications, even when municipal power is unavailable. Additionally, modern battery backup systems are designed for many uses, typically providing 20-50 complete garage door cycles on a single charge while automatically recharging when power returns. These battery backup systems feature user-friendly LED indicators that display battery status and charging progress, while smart-enabled models can send notifications to your smartphone when backup power is activated or when battery maintenance is required.

FAQs – Garage Door Openers
There are many things to consider when choosing a new garage door opener. For quieter systems, people opt for belt or screw drive systems, while the cost-effective, noisier option is a chain driven system. Next determine what features you’re looking for, such as battery backup, auto-locking, motion lights, or smart features with home integration. You’ll need to take your doors measurements and determine how many horsepower your new opener will require (typically 1/2hp, 3/4hp, or 1hp).
A garage door opener not working can be caused by a number of issues. The first and easiest things to check is if it still has power and is plugged in, next you can check that your garage sensor is still aligned and that nothing is blocking the beam. Next you can listen for strange noises, the lack of noise, or anything else that may look off or broken along your system. If the problem can’t be determined at this point, we recommend having your local company give your entire system a check. The problem could be wiring related, failed springs, snapped cables, or other issues that should be left to professionals as they present a greater danger.
The lifespan of most garage door openers is about 10-15 years, although with regular maintenance and professional tune-ups, can last much longer. Your parent’s older chain driven system can last even longer due to the simplicity, in exchange for safety and noise. Garage door opener longevity is also determined by how much effort your opener has to exert on each cycle. Poorly calibrated openers can fail in under a year, while perfectly calibrated units see little wear, if any.
Yes, some people can install garage door openers themselves. If you’re a handy person with mechanical knowledge and an understanding of the system and how it’s balanced. We do generally recommend installation by professionals as some installations can require special adjustments that could otherwise put unnecessary wear or stress on your new opener. As well as this, our technicians will make quick work of calibrating the open/close and safety systems with years of experience and training.
