With modern garage door openers having so many features, it can be hard to know which ones you might benefit from, especially if you’re not tech savvy! A conversation with a local garage door specialist can help you decide which one to buy if you’re looking to upgrade or replace yours, and you should also find the list below helpful:
Liftmaster WLED and 85503
These are two of the most high-tech garage door openers available today, and are an extremely popular choice for many homeowners. Below, we have set out some of their high-end features, and if choosing a different type of garage door opener, look to see if they have any of these features:
- myQ technology
a feature on both of the aforementioned openers, myQ technology enables you to have complete control of your garage door, from wherever you happen to be. Whether you need to open the door for a friend, or preset it to close at a certain time, this technology allows you to do so, from the palm of your hand, and it gives you real time notifications, too.
Should you choose to, you can pair myQ technology with Key by Amazon, for the safe and secure delivery of parcels. This keeps packages protected from thieves, inclement weather and damage, and enables a contact-free delivery for even more peace of mind. When your package leaves the depot for delivery, you’ll get real-time alerts about its delivery status, and the driver will be able to open your garage with a one-time code on their hand-held device when the package reaches your home.
- Battery back up
This feature enables you to still be able to operate your garage door during a power outage.
- Lifetime warranty
Both the 85503 and the WLED are powered by belt drives that run on a steel reinforced belt and are as good as silent. They also come with a lifetime warranty, unlike traditional chain openers.
- LED lighting
Equipped with incredibly bright LED lightingthat illuminates the whole garage space, you can easily find what you’re looking for, or navigate the space without risk of harm or injury.
- Built-in camera
Some modern garage door openers have built-in cameras that enable you to see and hear anything’s that going on, and with auto-adjust, the camera is able to record in any light conditions, include darkness. You can even take advantage of two-way audio to communicate with anyone in your garage, or to hear what’s going on inside.
