If you’ve considered upgrading your garage door, you might be amazed at the options available now. Technological advancements have made garage doors more secure, safe, and convenient than ever before. Know some of the most popular technical features people choose for their garage door to decide if you want any of them as well.

Smart Garage Door Tech You Should Know About

1. Opener Apps

Most doors installed today have a motorized garage door opener so they can be opened and closed at the touch of a button. Opener apps make this even more convenient by letting you control your door from your smartphone. They don’t have the limited range of a traditional remote — instead, you can open or close your garage door whenever you have Wi-Fi access. You can also receive alerts if the door is left open and view your log to know every time the door was opened and closed.

2. Safety Sensors

A safety sensor prevents injuries as well as property damage. The sensor at the base of the door will detect any objects, animals, or people beneath the door’s path. If it senses something in the path of the closing door, the opening mechanism will automatically reverse. With a working sensor, you won’t have to worry about the safety of your car, children, or pets.

3. Timers

It’s easy to forget to close your garage door when you drive away. While a door opener app provides one option for closing your door after you’ve left your home, it’s useless unless you remember you left the door open. A timer will automatically close your door after a set amount of time, usually between three and ten minutes.
