Key Takeaways

  • Garage door accessories enhance the functionality of your garage door.
  • Wireless keypads and remote controls provide convenience and security.
  • Smart home integration offers seamless control from anywhere.
  • Battery backup systems ensure access during power outages.

Wireless Keypads and Remote Controls

You can easily control your garage door with wireless keypads and remote controls. These accessories not only enhance the functionality of your door but also provide convenience and security. With wireless sensors and programmable codes, you can effortlessly open and close your garage door from the comfort of your car or even from inside your home.

Imagine arriving home late at night, in the pouring rain, and not having to fumble for your keys or manually lift the heavy garage door. With a wireless keypad or remote control, you can simply enter your unique code or press a button, and the door will open smoothly and silently. No more getting soaked or struggling with a stubborn door.

Not only do wireless keypads and remote controls make your life easier, but they also add an extra layer of security. You can program your garage door to only respond to specific codes, ensuring that only authorized individuals can gain access to your property. This gives you peace of mind, knowing that your belongings and loved ones are protected.

Now, imagine integrating your garage door accessories with a smart home system. This opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to control your door remotely through your smartphone or even voice commands. But more on that in the next section.

Smart Home Integration

Get ready to connect your smart home devices to your garage door for seamless integration. With home automation on the rise, it’s time to take your garage door to the next level.

Imagine effortlessly opening and closing your garage door with just a simple voice command. Picture yourself walking up to your house, and before you even reach the door, your garage door opens automatically, welcoming you home. This is the future of convenience and security, and it’s available now.

By integrating your garage door with your smart home system, you can control it remotely from anywhere, at any time. Forgot to close the garage door when you left for work? No problem. Just grab your phone and tap a button to close it. Want to let a family member or delivery person in? Simply use your smart home app to open the door for them. It’s that easy.

With voice control, you can take it a step further. Just say the word, and your garage door will respond. No need to fumble for your phone or remote control. Whether you’re inside the house or on the go, you have complete control over your garage door.

But the convenience doesn’t stop there. In the next section, we’ll explore how battery backup systems can ensure that your garage door remains functional even during power outages.

Battery Backup Systems

Make sure you never get locked out of your garage again with a battery backup system.

Even during power outages, you’ll have uninterrupted access to your garage.

Not only does this provide convenience, but it also adds an extra layer of safety and security to your home.

Ensure Access to Your Garage During Power Outages

When there’s a power outage, it’s important to have a backup solution for accessing your garage. Don’t let a lack of electricity prevent you from getting to your car or storing your belongings. With garage door accessories like battery backup systems, you can ensure that you always have access to your garage, even during a power outage.

Here are three reasons why you should consider investing in a battery backup system for your garage door opener installation:

  • Peace of mind knowing that you can still open and close your garage door during a power outage.
  • Convenience of being able to access your garage without having to manually release the emergency release mechanism.
  • Security, as a battery backup system will keep your garage door locked and protect your belongings even when the power is out.

With added safety and security, a battery backup system is an essential accessory for any garage door.

Added Safety and Security

Having a battery backup system for your garage ensures that you always have peace of mind, convenience, and security, even during a power outage. With a battery backup system, you can still operate your garage door, allowing you to access your garage and protect your belongings.

Additionally, having surveillance cameras installed in your garage provides an added layer of security by allowing you to monitor any suspicious activity remotely. Emergency release mechanisms are another important accessory that ensures your safety in case of emergencies. These mechanisms allow you to manually open your garage door from the inside, providing a quick and easy exit if needed.

By investing in these accessories, you can enhance the safety and security of your garage, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.

Moving on to the next section about lighting upgrades, you can further improve your garage’s functionality.

Lighting Upgrades

Enhance your garage door’s functionality with lighting upgrades. Not only will these upgrades add a touch of style to your garage, but they will also improve safety and security.

By incorporating sensor technology into your lighting system, you can ensure that your garage is well-lit whenever you need it. Whether you’re coming home late at night or working on a project in your garage, the sensors will automatically turn on the lights, providing you with a well-lit space without the hassle of searching for a light switch.

In addition to convenience, lighting upgrades can also improve energy efficiency. LED lights are not only brighter and longer-lasting, but they also consume less energy compared to traditional bulbs. By making this simple switch, you can save money on your energy bills while reducing your carbon footprint.

With upgraded lighting, you’ll feel a sense of belonging every time you step into your garage. Your neighbors will admire the welcoming glow emanating from your well-lit space, making your home stand out in the neighborhood.

Now that you’ve enhanced your garage’s functionality with lighting upgrades, let’s move on to the next step: garage door insulation.

Garage Door Insulation

To improve energy efficiency and temperature control, you need to seriously consider insulating your garage door. It’s not just about keeping the cold air out in the winter; it’s about creating a space that is comfortable all year round.

When you insulate your garage door, you create a barrier that prevents outside air from seeping in, which means your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard. This translates to significant energy savings for you.

But it’s not just about energy efficiency. Insulating your garage door also has the added benefit of soundproofing. Whether you’re using your garage as a workshop, a home gym, or a band practice space, you don’t want to disturb the rest of the house or the neighbors. Insulation helps to dampen the noise, creating a more peaceful environment for everyone.

By insulating your garage door, you’re not only improving the functionality of your door but also enhancing your overall living experience.

So why wait? Take the step towards energy efficiency and soundproofing, and start enjoying the benefits of a well-insulated garage today.

Conclusion

In conclusion, upgrading your garage door with accessories can greatly enhance its functionality and make your life easier.

With wireless keypads and remote controls, you can effortlessly operate your garage door from a distance.

Smart home integration allows you to control your garage door with voice commands or through an app on your smartphone.

Adding a battery backup system ensures that your garage door will still function during a power outage.

Lighting upgrades can improve visibility and security.

And don’t forget about garage door insulation, which can help regulate temperature and reduce energy costs.

Did you know that 70% of homeowners who installed garage door accessories reported increased convenience and peace of mind?

So why wait? Upgrade your garage door today and experience the benefits for yourself!

Great to work with a supplier that actually bids a job, completes it on time and on budget. Terry and his crew were a pleasure to deal with and installed a great product on a very challenging area. Would definitely recommend and use again

The service and the work that was done was exceptional. We needed to replace three very old (and very heavy) garage doors in a home that was built in 1960. There were a number of challenges along the way and each one was met professionally and in a timely manner. Lisa was an excellent communicator and highly responsive. Kevin did an extraordinary job with a fairly involved installation. His 'can do' attitude was very refreshing and reassuring. As noted, the final result was terrific. The pricing was VERY reasonable and very fair. The install was completed two days ago and I have already received compliments from the neighbors!

On Oct. 31 my electric gate stopped working and I called Alpha Gate and Door and talked to Lisa. She was great and based on my symptoms said she thought it was the battery and she would send Kealan out the next day. He came and replaced the battery with a 12 v 55ah battery. I asked him to rehang my reflector light on my neighbors new fence so the motion sensor would work. It had worked fine prior to that being taken down. He did that and it worked for a minute and then stopped. He rewired it and it worked once and he left. The next day I noticed the sensor was not working but I didn’t really care because my dog is too small to trigger it. I was charged $448 -$169 for the service call, $249 for the battery and $30 to rewire the sensor. I work exclusively from home as an attorney and never even use the gate during the week. A few weeks later the gate stopped operation completely and I called on Dec. 6. Lisa said she would send Kealan out. He called me and I said the gate would not open at all, the sensor was not working and the sensor was making a nonstop buzzing noise. He arrived fairly late in the day and I saw him pull into my driveway but he did not come to my door and went straight to the gate. I immediately went out there and I saw when he opened the cover that the battery charger lights were not on. He was in a very bad mood and starting ripping the battery out and said I needed a new battery. I said I guess it was because the battery charger wasn’t plugged in. I was not mad about it because that can happen to anyone. He got really mad at that point, I guess because I knew what had happened. He demanded to know whether I had unplugged it, grabbed a huge battery that would not even fit in my unit, then declared the charger had “allegedly” not been plugged in. As he was trying to force the battery in and was slamming everything around, I asked him if he had a smaller battery. He said no, it was whomever installed my gate opener’s fault because the antenna was on the left and they were usually on the right. He continued to try to force it but could not get the cover on. So he gave up and said he would come back Monday with a smaller battery. I assumed the sensor was not working because the battery had died. I heard nothing from anyone the following Monday and had had it so I called Lisa and yelled and told her the way Kealan had behaved and when was the battery actually going to be installed. She said she would talk to Kealan and I said do you have anybody else who is not a jackass who could come instead. She said she would investigate and call me back. She never called me back and apparently the next day around lunch Kealan snuck onto my property, did not tell me he was there, and put in another battery and texted me the gate was now working. I went outside to try it and the remote was not working at all. I have programmed remotes many times (I have done a lot of products liability work and handled cases with complex machinery failures and deposed a lot of engineers so I am not unfamiliar with this type of equipment) and checked it and the receiver was getting the signal from the transmitter but the control board was not opening the gate.So I called Lisa, explained he had come but not told me he was there, and that the remote was not opening the gate. I also apologized for yelling at her the day before because it was not her fault. She said she would tell him. After that call I remembered there is a reset button on the Patriot control board so I went out and pushed it and that caused the remote to work so I called Lisa and said it was working. The new battery is smaller than the one he had originally put in and retails for about $95. The motion sensor still does not work, I have done jumping jacks in front of of it to know avail. I am not bothering to call again about that because Kealan would probably get really mad again. He does NOT like his competence put into question. You decide if $249 is a fair markup on a $95 battery.

We are very happy with the service we received from Alpha Gate & Door. We had a 20-year old gate that stopped working. Upon our first call, they were quick to respond, provide an estimate & schedule the work. The tech was very thorough and at the end explained all of the updates. I know that if I ever need anything else, I will call them.

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Company! The entire process was incredibly quick and professional! I spoke with Lisa (she’s amazing and extremely knowledgeable) on Tuesday and she came out Wednesday with a recommendation to replace the gate opener that was faulty and couldn’t handle the weight of my gate. I received the reasonable quote the same day and their technician, Keelan, was at my house on Friday of the SAME WEEK to install. Keelan was just as courteous and professional as Lisa and did an amazing job! The install was perfect and pristine! I’ve tried working with other companies and honestly they are hands down the best! If there were 10 stars available, I would give them 10!
Thank you Alpha team!

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Co.for your gate repair or installation needs. We were in need of a replacement system for or driveway gate. Lisa immediately understood my situation and had a perfect recommendation for a replacement. She emailed me a detailed proposal and followed up with a visit to our site. In a timely manner the technician, Kealin and his assistant George, professionally installed a complete Patriot 1 system that looks great and works perfectly. I am very pleased with all aspects of their service.

Alpha Gate & Door recently replaced our 3-gate system thats used by over 250 residents and visitors on a daily basis.

Terry was excellent in guiding us from the first visit to the final inspection, including his experiences on what to expect and where any likely issues would occur. With a large property, that was critical to avoiding problems that could pop up.

The crews, clean up and invoicing were all done professionally.

We would strongly recommend Alpha Gate & Door for your gate access needs.

Called on a Saturday morning around 0800 and left a message about issue I was having. I received a call back a few minutes later and was ask to send some pictures of the gate. Once I sent over the pictures, I got another call around 1200, asking if they could come by today as a crew was finished early and could swing by to fix. The gate was fixed by 3:00 same day. Thanks for the quick response and repair. I wasn't expecting that on a Saturday morning. So far so good.
