3 Reasons to Upgrade Your Garage Door Opener

The Legacy^® 920 garage door opener

In today’s fast-paced world, homeowners are constantly seeking ways to enhance convenience, security and energy efficiency in their homes. One area that often gets overlooked is the garage door opener. Upgrading your garage door opener can offer unexpected benefits, improving your daily routine and home security. Here are three compelling reasons to consider making the switch to a newer model.

1. Enhanced Security Features

Modern garage door openers are equipped with advanced security features that protect your home from unauthorized access. Overhead Door™ Brand garage door openers, such as the Infinity™ 2000, Destiny^® 1500, Odyssey^® 1000, and the feature-rich Destiny^® 1200 models, are at the forefront of incorporating these advanced security features.

The Infinity™ 2000 is a quiet, powerful and compact wall-mount opener with OHD Anywhere^® Wi-Fi and battery backup capabilities.

With rolling code technology from our CodeDodger^® access security system, your garage's security code changes every time the door is operated, preventing unauthorized access. This technology helps keep our garage door openers safe and secure with the use of rolling codes, selecting a new code from 4.3 billion possible combinations each time the remote control is pressed.

Additionally, our openers offer features like automatic door locks and vacation mode settings, ensuring your home is secure, whether you're asleep upstairs or away on a trip. By upgrading your garage door opener, you’re not just enhancing the functionality of your garage; you’re also taking a proactive step towards securing your home.

2. Improved Safety Standards

Safety is a paramount concern for any homeowner. Older garage door openers may lack the latest safety features that have become standard in recent years. For instance, contemporary openers come with built-in sensors that detect objects or people in the door's path, automatically reversing the door to prevent accidents.

The Odyssey^® 1000 garage door opener is incredibly quiet and its DoorDetect™ monitoring system improves overall safety.

Overhead Door™ Brand's commitment to safety is demonstrated through our advanced safety features, such as the DoorDetect™ monitoring and diagnostic technology. This innovative system delivers the power needed at every movement of the garage door and continuously monitors the operation of the door, stopping operation when significant changes occur. These features not only minimize noise and wear and tear on the door but also improve overall safety.

Moreover, upgrading your opener can also mean your unit is compliant with the latest safety standards and regulations, ensuring your home is up to date and reducing the risk of malfunctions that could lead to injury.

Another solution we offer to enhance safety is our Safe-T-Beam^® system, which automatically stops and reverses the door if anything passes through the infrared beam, while its self-diagnostic functions alert homeowners of misalignment or damage. This feature is crucial for families with children and pets, providing peace of mind that your loved ones are safe around the garage door.

3. Smart Home Integration

The rise of smart home technology has made it possible to control various aspects of your home remotely, and garage door openers have kept pace with this trend. Our openers with an OHD Anywhere^® Wi-Fi Retrofit Kit allow for seamless integration with your smart home systems.

This means you can have your lights turn on automatically when you open the garage door at night or monitor and control access to your garage from anywhere. This is incredibly convenient for letting in guests or deliveries when you're not at home and checking if you forgot to close the door after leaving.

The Legacy^® 920 garage door opener has the option of an integrated OHD Anywhere^®, is battery backup capable, and provides quiet power with the choice of a belt or chain drive.

Upgrading to a smart opener can streamline your routines and add a layer of convenience to your daily life.
