Commercial or DIY(Do It Yourself)

Sounds simple, but what we are really talking about is quality. If you are looking for a long lasting garage door opener you immediately limit your choices in Sacramento. Why? Because you are not going to find one at your local hardware or big box store.

Sure there are great DIY models available, and frankly, most garage door companies will tell you either to pick one up at Home Depot or Lowes and they will install it. Or, they’ll just go ahead and purchase one from one of these stores and install it for you.

Abel Garage Door is different! We only sell commercial grade, professional quality garage door openers. Why? Because we back all of our work and we hate call backs. If you’re on a tight budget, we will help you to select the best value garage door opener from one of the big box stores and we will install it for you, while saving you money.

Here are a couple of things to look for when shopping for a garage door opener:

Quiet Functions
Chain-driven openers make more noise than the belt-driven ones. Since you are already willing to invest in this technology, why not go all out and go for belt-driven ones. The price difference is not really that great. Also, there are some integrated with durable belts to help it function for long years.

Can Detect Obstruction
It depends on how it can do it but it basically needs to detect if it is about to crash into something. Garage doors are heavy so it can cause problems and mishaps when it does not have a sensor. Companies use light beams to detect if something is obstructing its way and immediately opens up again.

½ Horsepower Or More
This motor power can typically hold average garage doors. Some still need to have a separate tool kit in order for it to work seamlessly on heavier doors. But basically, one integrated with this horsepower is already ideal as it is.

Keyless Wireless Pad
If you want total convenience, you have to get one with a keyless wireless pad. The good news is, there are lots of companies that offer wireless pads that can receive transmission from your garage even if it is made by a different manufacturing company.

Pick someone that is keyless and can let you change your code frequently so there would be no problem with radio scanner interference that may leak your code to burglars.
