How to choose your garage door remote control

This short list doesn't exhaust the garage door remote control options available on the market. And don't forget that there are best choices between cheap, universal, mid-range, and high tech products. So filter your expectations and needs before you start shopping around to narrow down your options and make your choice easier. As an overall what you must have in mind when you shop for a garage door remote is the following.

• Whether or not it's compatible with your opener.
• The reputation of the brand and the quality of the product to reduce the need of garage door repair.
• Whether or not you want a small remote.
• Pay attention to the number of buttons it has and thus how many openers it can activate. That's important if you have multiple garage doors.
• Check how you can use it (hang it in the car's visor or not).
• Check its range. The longer the distance you open the garage door the better.

One last advice: although most opener remotes today work with the rolling technology, make sure the one you get does too. It will ensure your security.
