Automatic Garage Door Operation
You can operate your radio-controlled automatic garage door by pressing the button mounted on the garage wall or using a handheld remote.
The transmitter is effective up to 100 feet away, even from within your home and out of sight of the door, it also features advanced rolling code security. Additional transmitters and wall buttons are available for installation as well.
Automatic Garage Door Safety
The time it takes for doors to open and close varies between 10-20 seconds, depending on the specific model. If the door encounters an obstacle while closing, such as a vehicle’s bonnet or boot or a person, it will automatically reverse and return to the fully open position.

Each time the door is opened, a built-in light turns on to light your garage.
It will automatically turn off after a preset duration (defaulting to 3 minutes). This feature is particularly handy during the darker winter months or in locations where your electric garage entrance receives little sunlight.
Auto Garage Door Manual Bypass (in case of power failure)
During a power outage, the door can be manually opened by pulling a release cable located at the back.
If there is no alternate entry to the garage, you will require an optional manual key release inserted into the front of the door, enabling external access with a key.
