Brighton's Reliably Automatic Garage Doors
Automate your garage door in Brighton from a distance
The most effective improvement for a manual garage door is to add automation.
At Empire Garage Doors, we provide the option to upgrade your garage door with an automatic opening system, even after purchasing a manual one. This can be done by either transforming your existing door into an electric model or entirely replacing it with a new automatic version. Our automated electric garage doors not only offer enhanced security but also make it effortless for you to access your garage in Brighton.

Automatic operation of garage doors
To open your radio-controlled automatic garage door, simply push the button on the garage wall or use the remote.
The transmitter has a range of 100 feet, which covers distances both inside your home and away from the door. It also comes equipped with advanced rolling code security. For those who require more, extra transmitters and wall buttons can be easily installed.
Automatic Garage Door Safety
The duration of door operation can range from 10 to 20 seconds, depending on the model. In case of an obstruction during closing, such as a car's hood or trunk or a person, the door will automatically reverse and go back to the fully open state.

Automatic Garage Door Options
Our collection of automated garage doors includes extra features designed to enhance both usability and safety:
PIN Code Entry
A PIN pad can be added to the garage door frame, offering an alternative method of opening the garage door.
This feature comes in handy when the transmitter is not easily reachable, such as when the car is on a trip or if there is no other way to access the garage.
Automated Garage Light
The built-in light in your garage automatically turns on whenever the door is opened. This feature provides illumination each time the door is used.
The automatic shut-off function, set to 3 minutes by default, is especially convenient during darker winter months or in areas with limited sunlight reaching your electric garage entrance.
Auto Garage Door Manual Bypass (in case of power failure)
In the event of a power outage, access to the door can be gained by manually pulling a release cable located at the back.
In the absence of an alternate entry to the garage, a manual key release may be necessary. This can be inserted into the front of the door, providing external access with a key.
