How to Choose the Proper Garage Door Opener ... Why “price and strength” of the garage door opener is not a complete answer.
When buying a garage door opener “price and strength” are important factors in
deciding what kind of garage door opener to buy, Marantec America's customers strongly believe that
the garage door opener’s “value, reliability, security, quietness and safety are even more
important factors. Marantec's design philosophy goes beyond commodity driven common garage door
openers by providing you with a brand name product you and your family can rely on. Things you
should consider before buying or replacing a garage door opener:
For many, the garage door is the main access to their home and even small businesses all across
the country. Though garage door openers are designed to do one seemingly simple job, to open and
close garage doors, you should know there are big differences between various kinds and brands of
openers. For instance, the vast majority of residential garage door openers operate on AC power
(Alternating Current). Such systems use the same amount of setting power to open and close garage
doors without any regard to conditions or possible obstruction that could avoid the safety of the
electronic eye. This reduces reliability and more importantly reduces safety.
In contrast, all Marantec garage door openers work on DC power (Direct Current). Utilizing DC
power allows constant monitoring of behavior and performance through the entire cycle vastly
improving both reliability and safety. Any obstruction is sensed within 2 seconds of the cycle and
varying conditions are adjusted for by our exclusive self-learning digital intelligence
technology.
