Garage Door PartsWhen it comes to garage door parts, there is a wide array of gadgets and gizmos to choose from. Here are some of the best and most useful for your garage:

  • Garage Door Opener- Automatic garage doors are no longer the luxury that they were in past decades. Automatic openers are more affordable than they have ever been and are invaluable for homeowners that frequent their garage. The benefits of an automatic garage door opener are endless. They have added security, are energy efficient, and added comfort in weather where you don’t want to leave the comfort of your vehicle while parking it.
  • Smart-App Openers– Your smartphone is great for a ton of things from gaming, scheduling, emailing and YouTube videos, but did you know that one of the newest garage door parts on the market is a “smart” garage door opener? These openers are super convenient. You can open your garage door anywhere using your phone. This is helpful for deliveries or repairs. Your phone will also alert you when your garage door has been opened, which is an added security benefit. The downside to these devices? Some of these systems won’t work with garage door parts dating prior to 1993.
  • Parking Beams– Goodbye ball and string, there is a new parking aid in town. You no longer have to hang the ball and string on the roof of your garage to ensure your car is properly in place for your garage door to safely shut. That old method doesn’t align you for prevention of slammed doors into bikes or the other typical garage items. With laser-assisted parking beams, you can assure spot-on accuracy with your parking.
