A home garage door opener can literally change your life. Gone are the days of getting out of the car in the pouring rain to open that heavy garage door. Now you can open it with the touch of a button on a remote control key fob from the comfort of your front seat.

Homes that were built over twenty five years ago are likely to have old garage door opener installed. Due to their age, these older mechanisms can cause damage or even injury if they have not been regularly serviced and maintained. Newer garage door installations have safety features which were not available until recent years.

The largest moving part in many modern homes is the garage door. Because of its size and weight, it can come crashing down on a family member, pet, car or other belongings, causing personal injury, damage or even death. It is therefore very important to ensure both the door and opener are safe and operating correctly.
