Automated roll-up garage doors can add protection and give you an extra sense of security. Plus, roll-up garage doors are incredibly easy to operate, convenient, and add extra comfort to your home. They make your life so much easier by eliminating the need to get out of your car, walk down the driveway, and manually open your garage door.

Assembling and installing your rolling garage door is easy and straightforward. The door is housed in a protective box over the garage opening. The door moves on a guide and rolls up and down on a spindle. The door rolls up vertically in the protective box. Because your door doesn’t open at an angle like most garage doors, it’s perfect for homes with a smaller driveway.

You can choose from a wide range of doors, so make sure you choose one based on your strength requirements. Depending on your robustness needs, you can select from a wide range of doors. The door you choose will provide the insulation to keep your garage cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The door also protects the garage from intruders, strong winds, and other extreme weather conditions.

There is also an added safety advantage of an automatic rolling garage door over a manual garage door. Most are equipped with an infrared sensor that detects any type of movement when the garage is closing. When the obstruction is identified, the garage stops moving down and backs up. This feature is great if you have small children or pets.

When you start shopping for your garage door, buy one that isn’t too big or bulky. A large garage opener can take up most of your free space (the available vertical space of your garage) and limit your storage space. It also limits what type of vehicle can be brought into and stored in your garage. For example, SUVs will be incredibly difficult to park if you have limited vertical space.

Rolling garage doors are less complicated to operate than sectional garage doors. They also feature smaller, easier-to-handle panels, greatly reducing the risk of accidents.

Your rolling garage door comes with a remote control to open and close it automatically. As you approach the garage door, simply press the button on your remote and the door will open when you reach the garage. Then you drive, press the button again, and the door closes automatically. The Genie Garage Door Opener uses its Intellicode software that changes the access code that is transmitted from your garage remote to the garage to open it. You’ll never have to worry about someone electronically stealing your access code, copying it, and opening it without your persistence.

There will be times when your door doesn’t work. It happens from time to time no matter how well it’s installed and maintained, so there’s no need to panic. Most of the time, your garage remote’s battery is dead or it’s some other simple garage door repair. It’s also a good idea to have extra backups with you, like a handheld device (generator, UPS, etc.) or extra batteries. Or you can manually open the garage door until you find out what is causing the problem.
