Benefits of Remote Controlled Garage Doors

Electric roller doors are an increasingly popular garage door option, with remote controlled garage doors holding numerous benefits to the user that make them an appealing choice.

Convenient

Perhaps the number one reason for the popularity of remote controlled garage doors is the convenience of them. In the middle of winter you may be more tempted to abandon your car on the driveway and retreat to the warmth of your home than fuss around manually opening and closing your garage door, which means leaving your car susceptible to damage or theft. Having an automated door eliminates this issue, allowing you to access your garage from the warmth of your vehicle and ensure it is safely locked away.

Increased security

As well as the increase in security that comes with always parking your car out of sight, automated doors are also harder to gain entry to than a traditional garage door, which can be a prime target for burglars. The remote control is necessary to get into automated garages, meaning that you can deter burglars and keep your car, garage and home much more secure.

Increased safety

Automated doors come with sensors and systems to prevent them from closing on objects or people in the line of path. Not only does this protect your car from damage if the door was to close prematurely, it increases the safety of the user. This can be an especially important issue if you have young children or pets around; garage doors accidents can be fatal, so it is important to make the most of any additional security measures available to you.

Another additional safety benefit of owning a remote controlled garage is that if you needed access to your garage late at night, you can do so without having to leave your vehicle and making yourself vulnerable to would-be attackers. You can get safely into your garage and securely close the door behind you before you need to step out of the car.

More suited to those with mobility issues or disabilities

If you or a member of your family has decreased mobility or a disability that affects major muscles, it can be very difficult to operate a traditional garage door, which requires strength to lift the heavy material. An automated system ensures access to anyone of any capabilities at the click of a button.
