2 Key Benefits Of the Genie Model 2028 Garage Door Opener

By

Many homeowners operate under the mistaken impression that all automatic garage door openers are more or less equal. Yet as anyone who owns a Genie garage door opener knows, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. If you would like to learn more about what sets a great opener apart from a merely good one, read on.

This article will outline two key benefits of the Genie Model 2028 garage door opener. 

DC Motor 

Inferior garage door openers can be recognized by the laborious effort involved in operating. Not only does the door move up about as slowly as possible, but the opener generates all manner of annoying noise in the process. Fortunately, this is not true of the Genie Model 2028. The DC motor ensures smooth, swift, and silent performance, while also minimizing the amount of wear and stress put on your door. 

Non-Contact Reverse System 

All automatic garage door systems are required to have to auto reverse systems. Most of these are designed to automatically open back up if the door detects pressure while it is closing. In other words, the door actually has to make contact with an obstruction before the auto reverse feature kicks in. 

The Genie Model 2028 represents a drastic improvement over this type of auto-reverse system. Instead of waiting for the door to make contact with an obstruction, it utilizes an infrared beam to detect any objects in the path of the door. This ensures a maximum measure of safety.

Valuable Genie Garage Door Opener Troubleshooting Tips

Troubleshooting

Genie garage door openers are great due to their increased security measures from the genie intellicode technology. This ensures your safety as well as preventing people from accessing your garage. However, it would be disappointing when you woke up one day and find out that your garage door won’t open, and your car is still inside. As a matter of fact, if your Genie garage door opener is not functioning properly, it poses a significant danger to anything or anyone underneath your garage door. The following are valuable tips on troubleshooting your Genie garage door opener.

Check on the door openers reverse mechanism.

A Genie garage door opener operates under a reverse mechanism whereby it stops automatically and reverses the closing of the garage door immediately it detects anything underneath it. You can carry out a simple test by just placing an object under your garage door and try to close. If it doesn’t recognize the object, this means that you need to contact a professional expert to check the system before any serious problem arises.

Check on the force adjustment of the opener.

Most garage doors behave differently in summer and winter season, and this is due to the expansion and contraction of their sizes as a result of different temperatures. This condition can be prevented by either changing the setting of you remote or adjusting some of the screws in your openers motor.

Have a regular maintenance service.

Although you can carry out the checkup procedure yourself following the Genie Company Manufactures manual, it would be better if it was done by a professional at Metro Garage Doors. This is to check whether there are some parts which are damaged, as well as making sure that your Genie garage door opener parts are well lubricated.

Check on the functionality of the motor.

When you purchased your Genie garage door opener, you noticed that it is incorporated with a five horsepower DC monitor that has a fast opening and closing speed compared to regular openers. It might be complex for you, and I recommend you call an expert to do the checkup on your behave.

Genie garage door openers, especially those with the DirectLift system, are silent due to their solid steel screws, and if the door is noisy while closing then, you need to pay attention. With those control measures, you are assured of safety.

Garage Door Opener Safety

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.
