Garage door openers help make coming and going easy, but newer models offer much more than convenience—they bring critical upgrades in security and child safety. Even if your opener is still working, replacing it with a model that meets current standards is one of the best ways to protect your home and family.
Enhanced Child and Pet Safety
Modern garage doors are required to feature auto-reverse sensors. These mechanisms stop and reverse the door if an object—such as a child or pet—is detected in its path. If your current opener lacks these sensors, upgrading immediately is recommended to prevent entrapment and serious accidents.
Stronger Home Security
Up-to-date garage door openers use “rolling code” technology, automatically generating a new access code every time the remote is used. This advanced encryption prevents thieves from intercepting and duplicating static codes for break-ins, keeping your property secure.
Smarter Control and Connectivity
- Smartphone Access: Many new openers connect to Wi-Fi, letting you control and monitor your garage from anywhere—great for busy Antelope families.
- Activity Alerts: Receive notifications when your garage door opens or closes, or check real-time logs for enhanced peace of mind.
- Voice Assistant Compatibility: Some openers work with Alexa, Google Assistant, and other smart home systems for easy, hands-free operation.
- Battery Backup: California now requires battery backup systems on new openers, ensuring operation during power outages for added safety.
Greater Reliability and Efficiency
Modern openers are designed for durability, quiet operation, and reduced energy use. Scheduled maintenance and upgrades extend the lifespan of both the opener and door system.
