Choosing a Smart Garage Door Opener

When choosing a smart garage door opener, it's important to consider your needs and budget:

Features to Consider: Consider the features you need, such as remote access, real-time alerts, and integration with other smart home devices.

Cost and Installation: Consider the cost of the smart garage door opener and the cost of professional installation.

Safety and Security Considerations

When integrating smart home technology with garage door openers, it's important to consider safety and security.

All B&D openers have standard security features built in like Automatic Reverse and Automatic Backdrive. Automatic Reverse prevents the door from closing on any obstruction; as soon as the closing door encounters an obstacle in its path, the opener will immediately stop and reverse. Automatic Backdrive is designed to further prevent forced entry, with the opener driving back down if the door is being forced open.

Automatic openers remove the need for a fixed lock and handle, which is a common target among thieves. To level up your garage security again install a B&D Auto-Lock on your garage door.

Smart Opener Installation

Smart garage door openers should be installed and set up by a professional. B&D do not recommend doing DIY garage door opener installation. Garage doors are heavy and when mishandled can seriously damage property or injure those close by.
