It is very common for homeowners in the UK to have a garage, but why has there been such an increase in people converting to automatic operators? We take a look at why automatic garage door controls are becoming more popular than the traditional manual operation.
What are the benefits?
Although manual operation has been a simple and popular option for many years, it requires a lot of regular heavy lifting. By introducing automatic controls to open a garage door, a ream of benefits came into force, making them a great alternative. The main benefits of having automatic controls for your garage door include:
- Security: Having a garage that is controlled by an automatic control deters any unwanted visitors. Certain controls enable you to restrict the access to your garage, such as the digital keypads. The fingerprint scanners are ideal for those who worry about hand transmitters getting into the wrong hands. Using this type of control means only you can access the garage for your own peace of mind.
- Convenience: With a touch of a button, you can open your garage from the comfort of your car, avoiding any nasty weather. These controls make it so much easier to drive in and out of your garage too as they open and close the garage within seconds.
- Safety: Automatic controls are very safe compared to manual garage doors. The reason for this is that they have the technology to know when an object is in the way of the door, stopping immediately. This means that when you are reversing out of your garage, you will know the garage door will stay put and your car is safe from any damage.
- Value: If you choose to have automatic controls for your garage door, it could increase the value of your home. Homeowners look for a few key features when buying a house and a functional garage is one of them.
