The days when people had to manually open and close their garage doors are gone. Modern garage door systems, with powerful electric motors and automated openers, make it much easier to operate while providing a greater level of safety for family members and pets.
Advanced safety measures
Today’s garage doors often feature advanced safety features that help protect users from harm. Most garage doors contain springs which hold the weight of the door and allow it to be opened and closed with ease. If one of these springs were to wear out or break, the door could suddenly crash down, potentially causing injury or damage. To prevent this from happening, most modern garage doors have an automatic opener installed that will stop the door from closing if it detects any obstruction in its path.
Safety sensors
In 1993, further advancements were made in order to keep people safe when using a garage door system. The US Safety Commission released regulations which required all new Garage Door Openers to include Safety Eyes – infrared beams connected between two sensors on either side of the opening which detect any obstructions in its path and prevent it from closing if something is detected below them.
Auto-Closing & Safe Closing Mechanisms
Another helpful feature found on many newer models is a Safe Closing Mechanism which will kick in if the user tries to force the door closed too quickly or harshly. It will then pull back up so as to not cause any injury or damage property that may have been caught in its way. Some systems also come with Auto-Closing Mechanisms (or Timers) which can be set so that they close after a certain period of time has passed since they were opened. This helps ensure that intruders cannot gain access into your home should you forget to close your Garage Door when leaving for work or running errands.
Internet capabilities
More recently, some models have come equipped with Wi-Fi features for extra convenience and security. These allow users to control their Garage Door from their computer, smartphone or tablet – even providing alerts if it’s opened while they’re away! This feature also makes life easier for delivery drivers and repairmen who need access into your home through your Garage without you being present at the time of arrival.
Camera assistant
Finally, there are Parking Assist sensors available on some models – these help protect your car as well as others around it by alerting you when you’ve pulled too far forward or back into your Garage before closing the door behind you so that no unfortunate accidents occur!
Overall, advances in technology have made today’s garage door systems more efficient and safer than ever before – offering peace of mind both inside and outside of our homes!
