The Benefits of a Car Door Opener The car door opener enables you to open the doors of your car easily. It communicates wirelessly with the garage door opener to open or close the doors. The sensors detect stationary and moving objects to avoid accidents. The sensor can also stop the doors from opening when obstacles are in its path. Battery Backup When a power outage occurs you want to know the garage door opener operating. Particularly in the event of storms, when power lines may fall and you'll be unable access your home. You can still access your garage without difficulty even if the power goes out. Battery backup units are usually easy to plug and play devices that are easy to install. They are designed to kick in if your garage opener loses power for any reason. There is no need for a complete power interruption. It could be as simple as the circuit breaker activated. The battery has enough stored power to operate your garage opener when you need it. Additionally, it doesn't require a single drop of fuel, which could be a problem for gas-powered backup systems in the event of a disaster. Many of the more recent openers have batteries built-in to backup. You can also have them separately to be added to your existing system. They're cost-effective and come with a long life, typically up to three years without maintenance. Some come with indicators that will inform you when it's time to replace the battery. This feature is a lifesaver when you're stuck in your car during a disaster and can't open your garage for whatever reason. This feature is particularly useful for those who live in an area with frequent severe storms and you want to make certain that your garage will remain open if it is needed. A battery backup is not just useful, but also provides security and protection. You can pull on the emergency release cord (which will release the trolley) and manually lift the garage door, and then remove your car from the way. If you are a disabled individual or have elderly people living with you who may not be physically capable of lifting the door or even open it, a backup battery will ensure that they can safely gain access to your garage if necessary. Wi-Fi Connectivity An app on your smartphone can be used to control and monitor the garage door opener that is connected to your WiFi at home. This feature is easy to install and works with the majority of garage door openers. You simply mount the Wi-Fi controller to the ceiling in front of your garage door opener, and use your home's existing Wi-Fi to connect it. Download the MyQ app on your smartphone and follow the steps to use the new features. If you're considering purchasing a smart garage door opener, it's important to understand the distinction between WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. Both Bluetooth and WiFi allow you to connect your smart garage door opener to your smartphone. However, WiFi provides more convenience and functionality. Bluetooth is a dated technology that transmits a signal through radio waves from your smartphone to the garage door opener. It might work for certain people, but it's not as reliable as Wi-Fi and requires a close proximity to the devices to perform. A Bluetooth connection can also be vulnerable to hackers or data breaches. Garage door openers that were manufactured after 1993 can be upgraded into smart garages with an add-on which supports Wi-Fi. Certain models are built with this technology built into the device to ensure security and ease of use. With the addition of a MyQ controller, you can connect your garage door to a home automation system such as Wink, SmartThings, iHome and XFINITY Home. Certain models are Apple HomeKit compatible with an additional adaptor purchase. This means that Siri can assist you with your daily tasks. With the option of setting up reminders so that you don't forget to close your garage door on your way out to work or when you head to sleep at the end of the night. You can even program your garage to close at a specific time of the day or on specific days of the week. If your home's current Wi-Fi signal isn't strong enough to allow for the smart garage door, you can also install a mesh router, or a Wi-Fi range extender that can boost the strength of your signal. Get locked car keys in car from a professional prior to installing to ensure the best results. Convenience You can utilize an auto door opener to bring your garage back into order when you realize that you've forgotten to close your garage door while driving. This feature can help you stay away from having to leave kids or pets in the car, and avoid exposing them to cold or hot weather. There was an era when locksmiths created their own car-opening tools made of flat spring stock, bent into various shapes. Some locksmiths even yelled at their rivals in their advertisements in the Locksmith Ledger by saying “no professional would ever use a tool like that” while introducing their own long-reach tool. It's good to know that there are various car-opening products to meet your needs. You'll never need to fret about not locking the door closed. Safety A garage door opener includes various safety features. These include sensors that are able to detect objects within the “danger zone” of an operating garage door, and stop its movement when the object is detected, saving pets, cars and kids from being injured. The sensors also provide a light that activates when activated and stays on for a set duration and provide visibility in the dark. Many newer models use rolling-code encryption to stop burglars from hacking the system and opening the car. Another feature that is important is the auto-reverse function. Sensors mounted on either side of the track will detect whether they are blocked. A small electric motor will activate when this happens. It pushes the locking bars up against the locking jaws in order to release them. The force of the motor can be adjusted to match the sensitivities of the sensors. This is best left to professionals. Other security features include the manual lock control inside the car, which means that someone who may have lost their keys can operate the doors. The switch should be located high enough so that children cannot reach it, but still within the door's view. The auto-reverse feature is among of the most important security features. It has been mandated by the federal government to help protect against injuries from garage doors that close on vehicles or people. InterNACHI inspectors must be aware of this feature and be prepared to give advice to their customers regarding adjusting the sensitivity of the sensor, which can be done only by a certified garage door installer. Finally, the door handle should be simple to use and free of any obstructions that could make it difficult to operate. If the handle is stuck or stiff, cleaning it and the lubrication process using a suitable lubricant could solve the issue. It is also essential to check the garage door's force settings. You can test them by placing a piece of wood on the ground beneath the garage door, and making sure that it doesn't damage the beam of light that comes from the safety eye sensor. If the block or brick of wood is moved past the sensors then the force settings should be increased.
