Why is it Important to Replace Garage Door Openers?

07/10/2018

You may be surprised to learn that nearly 70% of homeowners use the garage as their home’s primary point of entrance. That means your garage door is operating multiple times, each day. Whitaker Garage Doors understands that you can only use an old remote to operate your garage so many times before it becomes necessary to replace it. We make sure to assist you in finding the best choice to replace garage door openers in Westchester NY and surrounding areas, but let’s learn about why it is important to replace an older, remote, opener.

Why Replace Garage Door Openers?

Overuse is a common reason to replace garage door openers, but what are other reasons to invest in a new remote opener?

  • Certain Doors are lllegal!
    In 1993, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) enacted a law requiring that garage door openers built after January 1, 1991, adhere to legislative guidelines. The legislation was passed in response to the high volume of deaths and injuries that automatic garage door openers caused to children and pets.
  • It’s Simply Too Old
    Older openers do not have the same security protocol enabled to keep your garage safe (and ultimately your home) from unwanted intruders and possibly worse.
  • Manual Operation
    The older openers also only operated manually, using a key. Today, if you leave home and have a housesitter keeping watch, you can install a keypad that would only require an access code for entry. You can give this code only to people you trust, but this makes it easier than constantly copying a key.

Replace Garage Door Openers, Sooner, Rather than Later
