Here are the 3 most important commercial garage doors tips you need to remember:

Rolling code technology

In order to prevent criminals from monitoring radio frequencies to steal your unique code and use it to gain entry, the rolling code technology is a great security feature you can use. The rolling code technology changes the commercial garage doors code every time you press the opener. You can still press the same button to gain entry.

Keep in mind that although it may seem fun, racing under a garage door is not such a good idea. Over 100 people are hurt every year while doing this.

Owner’s manual

By using the owner’s manual, practice opening your garage manually and learn how to use your garage door’s emergency release. In case the power goes out and your garage door breaks down, you need to know how to lift it manually.

Inspect your garage door every month

First things you need to inspect on your garage door every month are the cables, rollers, springs and pulleys. Do not attempt to repair or remove any of these parts, they might be under high tension. Also, keep in mind to look for signs of wear and tear.

Bonus Tip ( When you leave on vacation unplug your garage door opener)
