The last thing you want to come home to after a long day is an unreliable, clunky or noisy garage door opener.
Every home deserves a garage door that opens seamlessly and safely every time, so if you’ve noticed your garage door opener is not letting you in from time to time, is slow to operate or making too much noise, it might be time to upgrade.
Below are four reasons why you need a new garage door opener.
Safety first
Research from the Chamberlain Group has found that while one in two homeowners have no idea whether their garage door opener meets the required safety standards, compliance is important to them. Over 57% of homeowners surveyed said they would immediately replace their garage door opener if they knew it wasn’t safe and compliant.
All current Chamberlain products carry the Regulatory Compliance Mark as well as having ‘Certificates of Suitability’ to identify compliance.
To ensure your family’s safety, you should regularly take a few minutes to perform a safety reversal check. When working correctly, your garage door will reverse direction if it detects any obstructions before reaching the ground.
To perform a safety reversal test:
1. Place a 40mm high object under the door (like a block of wood).
2. Operate the door to come in contact with the object.
3. Door should bounce back from the object in less than a second (or two seconds if safety beams are installed).
4. If this does NOT occur, homeowners should contact Chamberlain Customer Service on 0800 653 667, who can help you explore options for a new garage door opener.
