As smart home technology slowly moves beyond desktop computers and mobile devices, it’s finding its way into every single part of American homes. At Browning Garage Doors in Carlsbad, NM, the garage door installation and repair team stays one step ahead of the game by learning about new, innovative garage door parts that integrate smart technology to improve safety features for your property and your family.

Check out some of these technologically advanced garage door components, protecting your property from intruders and your loved ones from harm:

• Laser-Guided Parking Devices: Pulling into your driveway and safely maneuvering into your garage has always been a challenge, but thankfully, technology has caught up with the problem. This device utilizes a part on your garage door opener and vehicle to detect when you’re too close to the front of the garage or the rear of the door.
• Smart Phone Apps: The latest garage door gadget is the application for your devices allowing you to control and monitor your overhead door while you’re away from home. While there are many apps available, they all offer similar services, including the ability to monitor your premises by receiving instant notifications if your door is opening without you knowing it. There’s also the function of opening and closing your door remotely if needed.
• Safe-Closing Mechanism: To ensure the pathway is clear behind your automobile when backing up or lowering your garage door, you can install a safe-closing mechanism. This will ensure that your children or belongings aren’t in the pathway of the door, also guaranteeing your vehicle has enough room before the door closes.

Innovative garage door technology is making our homes and offices safer than they’ve ever been before. To learn more about what you can add to your overhead door system, call Browning Garage Doors at (575) 887-7975 or visit them online.
