Every day, new technology is being created. Although some people like the “old school” way of doing things, it’s hard to deny that technology makes our lives a lot easier. The same goes for automatic garage door openers. Although old garage doors usually have manual door openers, more and more people are switching to automatic garage doors. This is because they not only increase safety, but make our lives easier. Here are some of the ways that they do this.
Rolling Code System
This type of system generates a new opening code every time that the owner presses the button. The purpose of this is to increase security by not allowing intruders to use a scanner to break into your home.
Closes Automatically After A Certain Amount of Time
Many of us have gone to work and came home and noticed that we left our LaGrange garage door open the entire time. One of the advantages of an automatic garage door opener is that it closes after a certain amount of time.
You Can Control It From Your Phone
Instead of carrying around an opener or leaving it in your car all day, you can just press a button from your phone. This improves security because leaving the opener in your car may increase the chance of having your house broken into.
It Works From Anywhere
You no longer have to be in front of your garage door in order for the opener to work. You may be asking yourself why it’s necessary for it to work from far away but there’s many reasons. For instance, maybe your children got locked out of the house, your parents are dropping off a package, or someone is coming over to take your dogs out. Instead of driving home to open your LaGrange garage door, you can do it from your office.
Don’t Have To Get Out of the Car
It’s no secret that we all hate getting out of the car in the rain. When you have an automatic garage door opener, you don’t have to worry about facing the harsh weather conditions to open your garage.
