Unless you work in the garage door industry, it can be confusing to understand all individual components of a garage door and how they work together. Apart from the garage door itself, a garage door opener is another key component as it is part of every modern garage. But what is a garage door opener?
What is a Garage Door Opener?
A garage door opener is an electrical device that opens and closes your garage door via a remote or wall button. A garage door opener also assists in the smooth and quiet operation of your garage door.

Not sure if you closed the garage door when you left the house? Simply open the MY CGD App and look on the camera feed to see if your garage is opened or closed. You can then close it with the app if you did accidentally leave it open.
If you are away and want to know when other household members are leaving or coming home, you will receive real time alerts each time the garage is being opened or closed.
You can also switch of the access for all garage door remotes. This means, if everyone in your household is home, you can choose to only open your garage door via smartphone app. This gives you that extra security for your home and family.
And if you lose a garage remote you can delete its access to your garage via the app as well. This means no more worries about someone finding your garage remote and being able to access your garage.
