• Optional EverCharge standby power system reliably opens the door even when the power goes out.

The Protector System®
Project an invisible light beam across the garage door opening and automatically reverse the door if anything interrupts the beam while the door is going down. Sensing technology will stop the door from closing if contact is made with a person or object. Opener light turns on automatically when The Protector System’s infrared beam is broken.
Manual Release Handle
Manual release in case of power failure.
Security+®
Security+ 2.0 rolling code technology assures a new code is sent every time the remote control is used.
Cable Tension Monitor
Specifically designed to maintain accurate tension and eliminate “cable throw,” which occurs when the cable slips off the drum.
Power Lock
Power Lock – once the garage door goes down, it’s securely locked with the power lock, which is similar to a deadbolt and ensures the door cannot be forced open.
