If you want to make the garage door of your old house automated, you don’t have to get out of the car and stretch out your hand and pull it hard. Press the button and it can run up by itself, or close the door in a flash, then you have already asked the right place! This thing is popular now. Not only are newly built houses, but many families are also installing them in some old communities that have lived in for a while. They all say that after finishing, the grade has been raised a lot – it is like installing an electric motor for an old bicycle! Some friends may be able to figure out what new things this so-called "door" is? In fact, it is not that mysterious. It is a stupid garage door in your home that requires someone to work hard to open and switch, and becomes an intelligent system that can be activated by pressing the remote control, mobile app, and sometimes even shouting. Simply put, it is to turn the garage door into an "automatic door" that doesn't need to worry about.
1. Confirm the type and compatibility of the garage door : This is the first thing to do. Don’t buy a lot of parts and go home and install it for a long time. But after finding that the door and the machine are not "opposite" and that will be wasted! There are probably several common types of garage doors: roller shutter doors are rolled up piece by piece; flip doors are turned up piece by piece like flipping a book; and side sliding doors are sliding open to the side "slide". Generally speaking, most automatic door openers are suitable for flip doors and rolling shutter doors, but side sliding doors may be a bit of a brand or model. Before you buy, you must, and must carefully check the adaptive door type written in the product instructions, or find a store selling this thing to ask clearly and show him the situation of your door!
2. Choose the right automatic door opener : This door opener is like the "heart" part of this system. Its quality is directly related to whether your garage door can work normally and how long it can last! You have to think about the horsepower issue, door – the door is more important than the door, which directly determines how powerful the door opener is needed! If your door is a very thick solid wooden door, you can't buy a door opener for a small horse pulling a cart, otherwise it may "strike" halfway, and even burn the machine! Generally speaking, if you choose a door within a few hundred kilograms, you can choose a regular horsepower one; but if you are overweight, you have to choose a reinforced and powerful model. The power supply method is that there are plugs and plugs into the mains, and there are a few high-end goods with battery backup. For ordinary families, just plug in the electricity supply, it is stable and effortless!

3. Preparation and tool list before installation : Don’t underestimate the installation work. Some people with strong hands-on ability may have installed it by thinking about it. But if you are a "hands-related" friend who can’t even screw a screw smoothly, I advise you to find a professional master to do it earlier, which is safer and safe first! If you do it yourself, screwdrivers (cross and silhouettes must be prepared), wrench (large and small, and various models may also be used), and electric drills are necessary – use eye holes in the door frame, and don't forget flashlights, sometimes the light in the garage is so dark that it can't be seen clearly. , right! ladder! You have to stand high before you can install those parts on the door. It's really not possible without a ladder. You can't ride on someone else's shoulders to do work.
4. Installation steps and key details : First remove the parts that originally opened the door manually, such as old handles, old locks, etc., and remove them cleanly, and don’t leave messy things blocking the installation of new parts. Then, the track of the automatic door opener I bought (the "track" of the door running) was fixed to the garage door frame or ceiling with a "ding-bang" according to the assembly instructions given by the manufacturer, and it must be fixed and tightened, otherwise the door will sway and sway in a few days! Then install the motor, the "strong guy", to the appropriate position of the track, and then install the levers, chains or belts connecting the door and the door opener. Be careful when connecting and do not install it in a crooked manner. If the door is crooked, it may be unblocked or closed tightly.
1. Distance of remote control : Generally speaking, a better garage door remote control can definitely open the door if it is in an open space where there are no walls or big trees. But if the signal of the garage at home is not very good, such as the thick steel wall blocking the signal, the distance may be closer; don't worry at this time, some products can be equipped with small items with enhanced signal, which can help you solve a lot of troubles.
2. What should I do if there is a power outage? This is a big one! This question is well asked! Generally, most decent automatic door openers have a manual release function in mind. They are usually used automatically. In case of power outage, if you find the hidden small handle or small pull rope, pull it hard, and release the automatic shutdown of the door, and you can manually open and close the door "hey" like before. Are you feeling much more at ease?
After using it for a few years, check whether the gears and chains that are turning around are lacking in oil. If they are missing, add some lubricating oil. Don’t let them "dry grind" them. The dry grinding things will easily break; and are the connecting screws loose? If you loosen, use the wrench to tighten it; if a pile of dirt, small stones or other dirty things fall into the door guide rail, you have to clean it up, otherwise the door will be kabacaba and it will also affect the service life. Anyway, just look harder and take a look. Get some minor problems early. Don’t wait until it’s a “serious illness” before it gets troublesome!
