Express Garage Doors - Automatic Door Openers for All Types of Garage Doors
Remote Control Door Opener and Operators For All Types of Garage Doors.
Express Garage Doors supplies and installs electric openers for all types of garage doors and we only use quality branded products (2 year and 5 year Warranty) as we feel the installation should only be carried out once and then operate perfectly every time. There are a lot of very cheap, noisy non-European, non-compliant electric openers available in the U.K. through various sources but buyers should be very aware of what you may be purchasing as it may well be illegal or dangerous especially if incorrectly specified for the door type.
The current electric garage door opener market offers a variety of high tech garage door openers. The frequency spectrum ranges
between 433- 868 MHz and most of these garage door openers rely on 'hopping' or 'rolling code' technology. Encoders in the transmitter and decoders in the receiver work on a rolling code that prevent perpetrators from recording a code and replaying it to open a garage door. Because the signal is supposed to be significantly different than that of any other garage door remote control, manufacturers claim it is impossible for someone other than the owner of the remote to open the garage. When the transmitter sends a code, it generates a new code using an encoder. The receiver, after receiving a correct code, uses the same encoder with the same original seed to generate a new code that it will accept in the future. Because there is a high probability that someone might accidentally push the open button while not in range and desynchronize the code, the transmitter and receiver generate look-a-head codes ahead of time. This system is used by roller shutter remote controls as well as sectional and up and over garage door openers.
As well as these advances in remote control operation things have developed in the mechanics of the opener boom and tow arm system to ensure the garage door is held firmly closed and even locked in three places. Security is really the main feature as well as complete safety in all modern garage door openers.
NEVER fit a garage door opener if it does not have a safety return mechanism when an obstruction is hit. Even the infra red safety beam system only protects a small proportion of the doors entire travel and should only be an additional safety device to auto return. Latest standards require a very fast reaction time for the opener motor to reverse as soon as it has struck an obstacle.

The Cardale Autoglide electric opener - specifically designed for Cardale overhead canopy garage doors.
Canopy overhead garage doors (springs located across the top of the door) are notoriously awkward to automate properly and should be very well balanced before installing any kind of opener system.
Bow arm convertors used with boom openers will not automate all makes of garage doors.
Accessories have also developed with technological advances and many other methods of activating the garage door opener are now available other than a hand held remote, which quite often is misplaced or dropped and broken.
External wireless keypads are very useful when you have a lot of people in your family using the garage often, especially if for accessing fridges, freezers, bikes or other items which are retrieved on foot.
Other accessories include keyswitches, internal pushbutton stations, card readers and now even fingerscan readers.
