The right garage door opener can make your life easier, from features that can assist you, should you get locked out, to helping you stay safe. The professionals at Automatic Garage Door Repair Service in Monroe County, NY, want to help you find the perfect new garage door opener.

When shopping around for your new garage door opener, consider the following five things:

• Type Of Drive: Because there are three different ways of opening the door, you’ll have to choose a garage door opener that works in the style you want. Chain-drive openers are affordable but can be noisy; belt-drive openers use a rubber belt and are the quietest, and screw-drive openers are in the middle when it comes to cost and noise, but they require the least amount of maintenance.
• Power: Depending on how many doors and how heavy each one is, the amount of power your garage door opener requires will vary. Standard garage doors can get away with ½ horsepower, but heavier doors will need at least a ¾ horsepower opener.
• Lights: If you don’t have a light fixture installed in your garage, chances are your garage door opener will be the only source of light. Make sure you give some thought as to whether or not your garage could benefit from some light.
• Key-less Entry: Instead of simply relying on the remote to your garage door opener, you might want to add an additional key-less entry outside of your garage door. This will come in handy should you accidentally lock yourself out.
• Security Features: Add an extra layer of security to the safety of your home and family with a garage door opener that has a rolling code. This way, it will be much harder for anyone to access the code to get in.
