You pull up to your driveway and without even thinking about it, you hit the entry button on your garage door opener. Nothing happens, and the rain is coming down in buckets. Garage door parts provider Fred C. Johnson Co. in Jessup, MD, knows just how important it is to have a reliable device in these types of situations.

All garage door openers aren’t equal. Before you invest, keep in mind the following tips for selecting the best type for your needs:

• Battery Backup: Choose a garage door opener that will work if there is a power outage in the area or if for some reason, the device has stopped working.
• Dual Frequency: To avoid interference with your neighbors’ garage door openers, consider getting a device with dual frequency, which has an automatic frequency switch feature.
• Light Sensors: A garage door opener that turns on the light when the garage door opens is an important safety feature, especially at night. Drivers can immediately see if any suspicious activity is occurring.
• Rolling Code Security: To keep potential burglars from guessing your garage door opener’s code, rolling code security technology automatically changes the code for you every time you use it.

These are just a few of the garage door opener features that will make your entry and exit safe, quick, and seamless. As Maryland’s premier installer and servicer of garage doors, Fred C. Johnson Co.  has an extensive inventory of devices from the industry’s leading manufacturers.
