Where to buy the right fence?

Posted by Liu Er over 6 months ago

Most consumers will visit their local hardware store and purchase the electronic opener itself with the remote and open switch included. They usually have the fence paneling, tracks, wheels and springs already. Others choose to buy new online, or used from a friend or local dealer. What About Features? Some of the features that you'll be looking for in an opener may be a courtesy light which lights up and stays lit before and after the fence is opened. Also you may want a remote lockout feature which can lock the fence when you are away on vacation. Wireless keypads are also a nice option. You may choose solenoid operated deadbolts for the fence panels for more security. Some openers have sensors to detect monoxide fume build up and will automatically open the fence when it senses too much monoxide build up. Newer models will have open and close features that you can access over the Internet or with an iPhone app. Also available are wireless fingerprint keypads that can be installed outside on the fence jam, which can be activated by pressing your finger only once. This is great for latchkey kids so they don't have to remember a pin number. Are They Safer Today? Since 1982 all openers have a quick release latch to separate the automatic opener from the fence panels. All units since 1982 are required to reverse direction when confronting an obstruction too. The wall button on the inside should be mounted at least 5 feet from the ground to keep out of reach of small children. Also children should not be able to play with the remote. As a side note most commercial units have an electric eye located anywhere from 6 inches to a foot and a half off the ground. Why they do this is in case someone is standing directly in the path of the fence or if someone is laying on the ground unconscious in the path of the fence. Automotive shops have this eye so that if a car is idle or parked in the garage fenceway, the fence does not close on the car itself. How Much Will It Cost? Garage fence units range in price from as cheap as $100 to as high as thousands depending on features. I recommend having a professional install the unit. It is not difficult but for most people getting a professional handyman, which does not cost a lot, to install it for them, will save themselves a lot of heart ache and money.
