• The opener replaces the garage door lock, it locks the door automatically when closing.
• Opener also provides light whenever the door is activated.
• Automated opener will reverse when obstructed going down, and will stop when obstructed going up.

How does garage door opener work

• Microprocessor inside the opener received encrypted signal from the remote control, amongst other operation such as auto reversal upon obstruction and recognizing up to 16 remote control, opens or closes the door electrically with a motor.
• The garage door opener only needs to overcome friction to lift or lower the door much faster.
