Things to consider when buying a garage door opener

The garage door opener is the motorized device that allows you to open or close garage doors. They’re the reason that garage doors have become so popular. Imagine having to open your garage manually - not much fun!

You might not think about your garage door opener very often, but there’s a lot to know. There are a variety of different types of openers, and each of them have distinct lifting powers, safety mechanisms, controls, and more.

What type is it?

There are several different types of garage door openers, all of which offer a variety of advantages. Some are less expensive, others are quieter, and a few are better for small spaces.

How much lifting power does it have?

The larger and heavier your garage door opener is, the more lifting power you’ll require. LiftMaster offers a selection of different garage door openers with a selection of lifting powers. More is not necessarily better - you only want enough lifting power to safely and efficiently lift the door. Any more, and you could generate unnecessary noise - not to mention, be spending extra money for power you don’t need.

Generally, ½ horsepower is sufficient for standard double-car garage doors, while ¾ horsepower is the choice for larger garage doors.

Safety first

There are a number of different safety features available on garage door openers. These security features include methods of preventing entry (such as locks), and ways to stop the garage door from injuring anyone. You can expect sensors, emergency releases, and automatic reversing in all LiftMaster systems.

Controls and panels

The panels of your garage door opener provide you access to your garage when remote access isn’t available. Modern openers can feature external panels which allow you to open your garage door from outside, programmable timers, and more.

Control remotely

One of the biggest innovations in the world of garage doors is the advent of smart openers. These openers are connected to the internet, so you can use your smartphone to control your garage opener - no more worrying about losing the remote control to open your garage!

Benefits of a LiftMaster garage door opener

Now that you have an understanding of garage door openers, we can tell you why we love LiftMaster so much.

Let’s start with the variety. LiftMaster has garage door openers of every type we listed above. They also offer openers at both ½ and ¾ horsepower, which means there’s a LiftMaster opener that’s perfect for your door.

LiftMaster openers are high-quality, long lasting openers, and that sets them apart from the competition. The other thing that really sets them apart? The features:

When it comes to safety, LiftMaster is pretty much unparalleled. You can get LiftMaster’s Security+ 2.0 technology, which sends a new code to your garage door opener every time it’s used. This makes the controls for the opener almost completely immune to hacking. Their doors also lock automatically every time they’re closed, are electronically protected against forced openings, and automatically close after a certain amount of time.

As far as controls are concerned, LiftMaster can’t be beaten! All of our LiftMaster openers come with myQ technology. This allows them to connect to your Wi-Fi and be controlled by your smartphone. You can equip your opener with security cameras, get notifications when your garage is open, and even open your garage door for deliveries from Amazon. Smart garages are the future, and myQ is the premier smart garage technology.
