Everything About Garage Door Openers

I find that the Genie Garage Door Opener is one of the best garages you can get.  I recently bought a new house that was in disrepair and “Genie” was the first brand that stuck in my head.

Why do you think that is??  There are two main reasons:  dependability and parts.

First Genie was bought out by Overland in the 90s.  They are still called Genie but its under the Overland brand umbrella.  And there is an Overland business in every city.  Look in the phone book.  Depending on what city you live in, be it large or small, there will probably be at least 2-3.  That means that you will never live far from an establishment that sells, installs, or fixes genie products.  That is a good thing.  Keep in mind you can always go online and buy whatever genie parts you may need.  I recently went to a garage door opener parts website and found some parts I was looking for but its still nevertheless good to have the option of calling someone up or going to a store should you need something.

Second, for me personally, and several people who I know, genie garage doors have lasted the longest.  And I have owned several of them.  Garages take a lot of abuse and you want the door that is going to last the longest. I have backed into my garage door.  Kids have hung onto it.  It gets opened several times a day.  And my genie door has lasted 5 years now and given me no problem whatsoever. I read on a website that the best way to maintain your garage door is to oil your garage parts and that is what I have done.  It has never given me any problems.

Everyone loves to have a garage door opener. Having one will offer you the comfort of staying in the car when you leave or come back home, by using a remote. Otherwise, you’d have to get out of the car every time you must open the garage door. However, if your garage can also be used as an entrance to your house, that could be a problem. You probably wonder why. Well it is a problem because thieves have found a way to steal the code of the signal you send with your remote and this way they can enter your house even if everything is locked and you have a security system.

They can do this by using a device called code grabber. Such a device can be found very easily and is used pretty often to break into someone’s house. With it, they copy the code sent by your remote and they can use then to get into your home through your garage. To prevent this, the best thing you can do is to get a Genie Intellicode garage door opener, because it is equipped with the Intellicode system.

If you have a usual garage door opener, then the same signal will be sent every time you use it, which will make it very easy for the thieves to steal the code. If you have Intellicode then the code will be changed each time you use the opener. In this case, even if thieves still copy the code, they won’t be able to use it, because the code has changed. The Intellicode system has approximately 4.3 billion codes. A thief will never be able to copy all of them and try them all out. So that means that with Intellicode your home is safe. This system is also protected from other garage door remotes. So you don’t have to worry if someone with a garage door uses the exact code.

All the new Genie garage door openers are equipped with the Intellicode system. I recommend you should get one if you want your home to be safe. If you are happy with your own garage door opener there is a way to get Intellicode. You just have to get a conversion kit, where you get everything you need to include this system. For the maximum safety for your garage door opener, be sure to use Intellicode!
