Automatic Garage Door Operation

Automatic Garage Door Options
Our automated garage doors range has additional options to help with the usability and safety:
PIN Code Entry
The garage door opener can also be operated via an optional PIN pad, fitted to the outside of the garage door frame.
This is useful if the transmitter is not available (car out on a journey), or if there is no other entrance into the garage (car locked in garage with the transmitter).
Auto Garage Illumination
Whenever the door is used, a built-in light activates and illuminates your garage. This then switches itself off after a set amount of time (default 3 minutes).
This option is very useful for those darker winter months, or in areas where your electric garage entrance is in the shade.
Auto Garage Door Manual Bypass
In the event of a power failure the door can be opened manually after pulling a release cable at the back of the door.
If there is no other entrance to the garage, you will need a manual key release (optional extra) which is set into the face of the door and allows external release of the door with a key.
