Remote Control Types
Before selecting a garage door remote type, it’s crucial to take into account your specific needs and preferences, as each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Whether you prioritize ease of use, convenience, or safety, there is a remote out there that will meet your requirements.

Simple yet effective, single button remotes are the most basic type of garage door remote. They feature a single button that can be used to open and close the garage door, and are available in keychain, visor clip or wall mount styles.

Multi-Button Remotes
These remotes have multiple buttons that can be programmed to open and close different garage doors or control lights and other accessories. They come in a variety of styles, including keychain, visor clip, and wall mount options.

Keypad Remotes
Concerned about security? A keypad remote might be the perfect solution. These remotes are mounted outside the garage door and require a passcode to open or close the door, providing added security when you’re not at home.

Smart Remotes
Want to control your garage door from anywhere? Consider a smart remote. These remotes connect to your home’s Wi-Fi network and can be controlled using a smartphone app, providing convenient access to your garage from anywhere.
For those who only need to operate one garage door, single-button remotes are a simple and effective solution. They may be limited in features, but they get the job done without any unnecessary complications.
If you have multiple garage door openers or accessories that need to be controlled, a multi-button remote might be the way to go. While it offers more flexibility, it can be more challenging to set up and use.
Keep your garage door secure with a keypad remote, which requires a passcode to open. While it provides a higher level of security, it may be less convenient to use than other options, as you need to be at the keypad to operate the door.
If you’re looking for the ultimate in convenience, consider a smart remote for your garage door. These remotes allow you to control your garage door from anywhere using your smartphone, providing additional features such as remote monitoring and alerts. However, they are the most expensive option to install.
