Garage Door Opener Brands
Garage doors have been referred to as the new front door for the American home with good reason. An industry study found more people use their garage door than the front door as the main entry point. As zero-lot lines have increased due to the cost of raw land, more garage doors are front facing. Since most people use their garage door to access their home, it makes sense to invest time learning about a few of the most popular garage door opener brands.
Garage door openers raise and lower your garage door with a chain, screw, or belt-drive system. Some openers have advanced tech like video cameras, ring-lighting, and come with an app. We’re introducing you to 7 of the most popular garage door opener brands.
