Automatic Garage Doors Specially Installed in Eastbourne

Control Your Eastbourne Garage Door Remotely

The most optimal way to enhance a manual garage door is by incorporating automation.

At Empire Garage Doors, we offer the convenience of adding an automatic opening system to your existing garage door, even if you initially purchased a manual one. This can be achieved by either converting your existing door into an electric model or replacing it entirely with a new automated version. Our electric garage doors not only provide added security but also make accessing your Eastbourne garage effortless.

Secure your garage with the convenience of automatic doors

At Empire Garage Doors, we understand the importance of protecting your property from both outside threats and harsh weather conditions. Our garage doors are equipped with a strong seal to keep out any elements, and we also provide insulation for those in colder climates. Give us a call at 01323 729230 or reach us through our online form.

Automatic operation of garage doors

To access your radio-controlled automatic garage door, either press the button on the garage wall or utilise the remote.

The transmitter has a reach of 100 feet, spanning both indoor and outdoor distances. Additionally, it is equipped with state-of-the-art rolling code security. For those needing additional capabilities, extra transmitters and wall buttons can be effortlessly installed.

Automatic Garage Door Safety

The door's operating time varies between 10 to 20 seconds, depending on its type. If an obstruction occurs while closing, such as a car's hood or trunk or a person, the door will automatically reverse and return to its fully open position.

Take note of the smooth and effortless operation of our automatic sectional door in the included video.

Automatic Garage Door Options

Our automated garage doors come equipped with additional features that improve both usability and safety.

PIN Code Entry

An alternative way to open the garage door is by adding a PIN pad to the door frame.

This function is particularly useful in situations where the transmitter is not readily accessible, such as during a car trip or if alternative entry to the garage is not feasible.

Automated Garage Light

The automatic light in your garage activates every time the door is opened, ensuring visibility with every use.

The default 3-minute setting for the automatic shut-off feature proves especially useful in darker winter months or locations with limited sunlight for your electric garage entrance.

Auto Garage Door Manual Bypass (in case of power failure)

In the case of a power failure, entry through the door can be obtained by manually using the release cable located at the rear.

If there is no other way to enter the garage, a key may need to be used. It can be inserted into the front of the door to grant external access.

FAQs – Electric Garage Doors

Most commonly asked questions about Electric Garage Doors

The automatic garage door opener allows for easy opening and closing of the door with a simple click of a button on your remote. This handy feature enables you to enter your garage without leaving the comfort of your vehicle.

It is crucial for homeowners to be aware of the process of manually opening a garage door in situations such as losing the remote or experiencing a power outage. All automatic garage doors are equipped with a bypass mechanism that allows the carriage to be disconnected and operated manually.

It is highly recommended to have a certified professional service your automatic garage door on a yearly basis.

As soon as the garage door touches an obstacle, its sensors are triggered and it is immediately detected.

The lifespan of a garage door is dependent on usage, and can range from 15 to 30 years with proper maintenance, as advised by professionals. Climate conditions in the area should also be considered. Furthermore, automatic garage door openers usually provide reliable performance for approximately 10 to 15 years.

As the garage door descends, tension builds in the springs. Conversely, when raising the door, the tension is released to aid with lifting. It should be mentioned that the springs are most taut when the door is shut, which is why they frequently snap in this position.

The remote control serves as a transmitter, and the garage door opener has a receiver. By using a secure digital rolling code, the remote produces a distinctive signal that is received by the opener. Depending on the desired action, the opener will either open or close the door in response.
