Genie Garage Door Openers

For more efficiency when opening and closing your garage door, you should consider replacing the old garage door openers with the new Genie models. Households from Douglasville, GA have something to smile for as Genie garage door openers have door openers with the latest technology. Here are the reasons why you need to replace your garage door opener with product from Genie.

Why a Genie Model?

Neighbor-friendly model
One disadvantage with the old model of garage door opener is that when it makes many ruckuses when being opened or closed. A new model that is belt-driven from Genie garage door openers is now available. Although it costs more than the traditional chain-driven models, it produces less sound hence makes your garage door neighbor-friendly. An alternative for those having a tight budget would be the screw-type door openers. These have less moving and jiggly parts therefore making a noiseless machine.

Safety
Safety is a key feature for any garage door. As such, there is a need to use an operator for your garage door that has the reversal feature. This feature is important in that the machine can detect if it is just about to crashing into something or detect something that is blocking its path. Oldest models do not have the reverse technology so you should check if your door has and update it.

New Technology
The technology for the garage door security equipment is advancing just like everything else is. New models with latest technology are more convenient and safer. For example, a key-less mounted up pad is on the market. For convenience of a wireless pad, you need to purchase a new door opener model. The wireless pad will let you transmit signals from the wireless transmitter at the comfort of your car.

Garage Door Opener Safety

By

Garage Door Opener Safety

Strict safety standards regarding the manufacture of garage door openers
ensure that only the best garage door openers are available to
consumers. You tend to take the convenience of a garage door opener for
granted until it doesn’t work or an accident occurs. The novelty of a
garage door that goes up and down as the push of a button fascinates
children and they like to play the openers a lot. Some children made a
game of trying to get in and out of the garage before the door closed.
This led to accidents where children were injured leading manufacturers
to develop safer features to add to the opening devices.

Governments also played a part in the development of safety features that stopped
garage doors from closing when there was something in the way. Today,
garage openers contain a safety feature that will automatically open the
door all the way when the door hits something on the way down. Since
1993, laws have been in place that require all manufacturers to equip
the automatic garage door openers with photoelectric and
pressure-related sensors. The installation of sensors causes garage
doors to stop the closing operation when they come in contact with an
object. As soon as they hit something, they reverse direction.

The photoelectric sensors contain electric eyes on both sides of the door
about six inches from the ground. If anything crosses the path of these
eyes while the door is closing, the eyes will stop the operation. With
the pressure related sensors, the door has to hit something before it
stops. The problem is that the weight of garage doors hitting a small
child can still cause a lot of injuries. Although garage door openers
have been greatly improved, owners should still make sure that there are
no small children playing in the area when they are opening and closing
their garage doors.

In order for the sensors to work properly,  your garage door needs to be kept in good condition. You will need to check them often and keep them lubricated. The doors manual will usually
have instructions on how to perform maintenance on it. You will have to
review the door itself and the torsion springs.

This is another area where Metro excels.

Spring Cleaning? How About A New Garage Door!

By

Spring is in the air

Did you know spring cleaning is not just an annual affair that urges people to tidy up and downsize? It is actually rooted in history when back in the days of harsh winters and fire hearths homes were cleared of furniture and the whole family worked together to remove the build-up of soot and dirt from a long winter.

Thankfully, we don’t have to deal with such issues anymore with airtight windows and sealed doors but we often still carry on the tradition of spring cleaning. It’s hard to resist when the weather warms and we can open the windows and doors to fresh air.

When you take the time out to swap the winter rugs for summer welcome mats and cold-weather colors/implements for sunny, summertime items, the garage door is one change not to be neglected.

Garage Doors – Douglasville GA

There may be many reasons you would want to consider adding a new garage door (or repairing an existing one) to your list of spring cleaning tasks:

  • It is outdated/unattractive
  • It is damaged
  • It is not energy-efficient
  • It is not safe
  • Just want something different

No matter what the reason(s) may be, a recent cost vs. value report from Remodeling.com indicates that garage door replacement is among the top three investments for homeowners who are remodeling.

Replacing an outdated garage door has the benefit of not only adding aesthetic value to your home, but your insurance rates could even improve with the addition of an updated garage door.

Garage Door Repairs vs Replacement

A damaged garage door can be as simple as replacing broken or non-functioning parts to replacing the entire door. The best way to determine which path to take is to have an expert meet with you to discuss options.

Many older garage doors were installed without consideration of energy efficiency but nowadays there is a large variety of energy-efficient residential garage doors to choose from.

A safe garage door is important for your garage and home. If your garage door does not adequately provide protection from the elements, intruders, or worse poses a safety risk by being in disrepair it is important to replace it.

Sometimes it all comes down to wanting to change to something new. Just as making a bed makes a bedroom look bigger and neater, having a new garage door is like giving a facelift to your beautiful home.

Garage doors are often overlooked until they stop working so now, as the weather warms, take a good look at the facade of your home and contact us today to schedule an appointment.
