Why Electric Garage Door Openers Are Important

Of all the products we offer at Access Garage Doors of NoCo, excluding garage doors themselves, electric garage door openers are definitely one of the most important products. Most people who have a garage also have an electric garage door opener.

You may not need convincing that you need an electric opener, but there are specific reasons it’s beneficial to have one—reasons you may not have considered yet. Here are a few of them:

• Convenience- This one is a bit obvious, but it’s worth mentioning anyway. Even when you aren’t in a hurry, it can be annoying to open your garage door manually, then move your car, then get out of your car again to close the garage door. Electric garage door openers prevent the need for these extra steps, and when you consider that you’ll likely need to open and close your garage door over a thousand times a year, it’s worth it to save an extra minute or two each day.
• Safety- Electric garage door openers are also useful for safety purposes. Opening a garage door manually means there is room for your fingers to get caught or for you to injure yourself in some other way. However, a garage door that opens automatically reduces your risk of injury.
• Lighting- Because most electric garage door openers have an automatic light that turns on in your garage, parking is a lot easier at night. You won’t have to rely on only your headlights or get out of your car to manually turn on a light switch.
