AUTOMATIC OPERATORS

Garage Master specialises in the installation of automatic garage door operators - also called electric openers - which open and close your garage door at the press of a button. Very convenient, especially in British weather!

An operator also adds greater security to your garage: it will only respond to a precisely programmed remote control and when closed the door is locked shut.

We use Marantec "Comfort" operators as standard. These have proven to be very reliable for both up-and-over and sectional garage doors, and can be fitted to most pre-existing or newly installed garage doors. For a demonstration of both mains- and battery-powered options, please visit our showroom.

  • An incredibly quiet Kevlar belt drive
  • Keyring-sized remote control
  • Automatic cut-out if encounters an obstacle
  • Internal garage light
  • Manual release key
  • Stand-by setting to reduce power bills

Luxury cars with an integrated transmitter can also be programmed to open a Marantec operator. Please visit the HomeLink website for a complete list of models that feature this option.


Difficulties with transmitters & reduced range

If you are experiencing difficulty with a 418MHz (or even 433MHz) operating system, this may be due to the new emergency services' TETRA radio system, which has been allocated bands from 410 to 430MHz. Unfortunately this is a government-backed initiative, and such problems will only increase as more masts are erected and usage increases.

One way to solve this problem is to change your zappers and receivers to the recommended 868MHz, which has now been allocated for door and gate automation. Please call us for more information.
