You’re tired of getting out of your car each morning to open and close your garage door manually. You’re finally ready to invest in a garage door opener.
Smart thinking. A garage can add value to your home, as not all homes have garages. But if yours comes with a garage door opener, this will not only make your life easier but also it will add value to your home.
The question is, how exactly do you use a garage door opener to open a garage door?
Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know about how garage door openers function and why having a good one is important.
Let’s jump in!
Garage Door Activation Process with a Garage Door Opener
A garage door opener operates via radio transmitters.
When you push the garage door opener’s button to activate it, the transmitter will send a receiver a code. The receiver must be tuned to your transmitter’s frequency to get this code. As soon as this happens, the receiver will tell your garage door’s motor to start.
At this point, a screw, belt, or chain will produce the motion needed to twist or extend the extension springs or torsion springs installed beside or above the garage door. The springs assume the role of a counterbalance by absorbing your door’s weight. Cables placed near them work with them to close and open the garage door.
When your door goes up, panels that are attached to the door make it possible for it to bend. In addition, rollers run on tracks located on both sides of the door to smoothly guide the door down and up.
Why You Need a Good Garage Door Opener
One of the top reasons why you need a good garage door is that it can improve your garage security.
A quality automatic closure opener features sensors that detect how long you have left your garage door open. If your door stays open longer than it should be, the opener will be activated, and your garage door will close automatically. This will help to protect your vehicles and other items in your garage against theft.
In addition, as we mentioned earlier, garage door openers make using your garage more convenient. With an opener, you no longer have to walk out in heat, snow, or rain to get your vehicle out and in the garage.
