ABOUT ELECTRIC GARAGE DOORS

Electric garage door openers are normally remote controlled, so that garage doors can be opened and closed from within the car. They may be fitted with a new garage door, or can be retro-fitted to existing garage doors. Some types are sufficiently simple to be fitted by the end user on a DIY basis; others require professional installation. The type of electric garage door opener that is required will depend on whether the garage door is of the canopy, retractable, side-hinged, sectional or roller type.
