Benefits of Automatic Garage Door Openers

Automatic garage door openers are not challenging to install. Doors with automatic openers are durable and easy to use. Such garage doors seldom need repair or replacement services. Have a look at the benefits of automatic garage door openers:

Prevents Injury

Automatic garage door openers make our garage door safe, so even kids and the elderly can use it with a button. Thanks to the door sensors, you'll never have to worry about the door closing on them.

Enhances Security

Automated garage doors also allow you to set a temporary guest keypad code and a vacation mode. This eliminates the need to change your garage door code to ensure continuous security. You can create a guest code whenever someone needs to enter your garage with your permission while you aren't home.

Convenience

Automated garage doors help minimize personal effort and make everyday life easy. You'll switch from house keys to a remote, phone app, or keypad code to access your garage!

Basic Components of a Garage Door Opener

Various mechanical systems allow garage doors to open and close smoothly and safely. To make sure that your garage door is in proper shape, it is a good idea to know some of the primary parts of a garage door opener:

Garage door sensors

Photo-eye safety sensors are on either side of the garage door near the floor. They work correctly when one sensor emits a laser while the other receives it.

Keypads and remote controls

Keypads and remote controls are both battery-operated. Automatic garage door openers have more safety features and can be controlled in many ways: directly from your car, your smartphone, your computer, or the opener itself.

An amazing experience every time! This was my second door installation from them and they were able to make the insulated door fit better (so that it would save me money in the winter in heating costs). The thing I like most is it was effortless on my part. They showed up, did the work to the highest level, and cleaned up all nails and screws, and removed the old hardware. I know this door will last a long time because my other one was 10 years old and working and looking like new (until hail damage the size of baseballs). A huge thank you to Noelle and Steve Drewry, and the installer whose name I forgot. My apologies for that. You have my respect for being so good at your job. I love having people that I know and trust to do it right!

They were at my door at 9:15am, diagnosed the problem and fixed the door (and checked everything out and made adjustments), and were done before 10am. Great service and truly professional! I highly recommend them!

The spring broke on my garage door and I called Transcona Overhead Doors. They promptly came out and repaired the door. They were courteous and professional and the price was as quoted. We purchased the garage door from Transcona Overhead Doors in 2011 and are very happy with their service and would recommend them to anyone needing repairs on their garage door.

We received excellent service over the phone from Noelle in arranging for a new garage door opener which was installed within a few days of our contact with her. Steve removed our old opener & installed the new one in less than an hour. The price of the opener & installation was less than what we expected & we would highly recommend Transcona Overhead Doors for any garage door services.
