A garage door opener is a sizeable investment and one you are going to live with a long time. Going by the price alone can prove disappointing. A few checklist items should help you choose the best O'Fallon IL garage door openers that will serve you for a long time to come.

Reliable Remote Control

Many homeowners however neglect or forget to account for signal interference especially in an urban setting where houses tend to be close together. A neighbor's garage door opener may affect yours so choose an option that automatically switches frequencies. This feature is great for reducing interference.

If you want a quiet home or there is a living space adjacent to or directly above the garage, you definitely want a door opener that operates quietly. Direct-driven and belt-driven Monroe, IL garage doors tend to be the least noisy on the market.

Overhead Lights

Overhead lights are a good security measure. Choose lights that you can turn on and off independently without needing to control the garage door. A motion sensor may also be useful so the lights turn on when you approach the garage or while you are in the garage.

Rolling-Code Security Technology

Rolling-code security technology ensures that an unauthorized person cannot guess your opener's code. It does this by selecting a new access code each time you use the remote. This access code doesn’t repeat each time and is derived from billions of possible combinations. The technology also ensures that your neighbor doesn’t accidentally open your garage door.

Battery Backup
