We know what you’re thinking: “Why should I get a garage door opener?”

Well, here’s the thing: The benefits of having a garage door opener are so many and so great that we can’t even fit them all in one blog post. So, instead, we’re going to just tell you our favorite five.

First, it’s more convenient to have your garage door opener than not to have one. You don’t have to get out of your car and manually open the garage every time you need to drive in or out.

Second, it keeps your family safe! Think about it—you or your children are rushing out to work or school. The garage door is opened and they rush out— but start closing the garage door before they are fully out. The damage that could be caused to the vehicle or garage door can be diverted because the garage door opener sensors would reverse the door before fully closing on anyone or thing. The same could be said for rushing out and forgetting to close your garage door. With a smart garage door opener, you can set timers to automatically close the door on the off chance someone forgets.

Thirdly, with a garage door opener in Kansas City, you can open and close your garage door from inside your home, down the street or even in a different country with our Liftmaster MyQ smart phone connectivity. If you’re going to be away from home for an extended period of time, or if you have a lot of packages to deliver, this is a great option!
