At what point should you replace your garage door?
For some customers, replacement is necessary due to updated federal law requiring certain safety mechanisms in all garage openers. The older a garage door system is, the more likely it is lacking in safety features. Some of the oldest systems have remotes the size of shoe boxes!
Here are a few more factors to consider when replacing a garage door opener:
Noise Control
