Choose the right brand. We can sell any garage door opener brand we want and we recommend Liftmaster. Other brands have given us problems through the years, while Liftmaster has proven to be the most reliable. We install other brands but only at the insistence of the customer.
Choose the right company. You can install a garage opener yourself but please follow the instructions to the letter. If you choose to have a professional install it for you, make sure you choose a reliable company.
We go out on thousands of calls a year and often find short-cuts were taken during the installation of a garage opener fly-by-night companies and Big-Box retailers' subcontractors, who might be installing carpets one-minute and garage door openers the next.
These shortcuts can compromise the operation and the safety of the garage opener. It is not uncommon for us to hear stories about pets being trapped under garage doors because a short-cut was taken during installation. These shortcuts pose a huge liability risk for the company, but they don't care because they know you'll never find them again.
Automatic garage door openers are extremely safe when installed correctly and there are as many reputable companies as unreputable ones in the industry, just do a little work to make sure you are hiring a professional.

The Elite Series offers consumers the very best in features and elegant touches. All three models come with additional safety and security features. For instance, these openers sense you're in the garage and turn the lights on... this is more convenient than trying to flick the switch with your elbow when carrying a bundle, don't you think? They also turn the lights out when you leave... no more discovering the light in the garage was left on all night.
The temperature sensor built into the wall-unit is also convenient. If you store anything in the garage that is temperature sensitive: soda, paint etc., you will find this find this much more convenient than cleaning up exploded soda cans or replacing paint. Some refrigerators turn-off in lower temperatures, so this can save you from a load of spoiled food too.
The premium remote is included with any Elite Series openers and you'lI really like the fact that this remote senses your hand approaching and lights up, no more accidentally turning on a light or opening the wrong garage door when groping for a button in the dark.
