MyQ Garage Door Openers

All Liftmaster garage door openers since 2022 include MyQ, a smart home integration. This option was first offered in 2012 with the use of an internet gateway. A myQ-enabled garage door opener gives you the ability to see if your garage door is open or closed from anywhere, at what time it opened or closed, and set alerts to notify you when it opens when it was not supposed to. In the last couple of years, manufacturers began also offering a built-in wifi camera, giving you live feed into your garage. An alternative to MyQ is Genie’s Aladdin connect, which comes with premium Genie garage door openers.

It is also possible to retrofit previous models and make them "smart" using a Homelink device.

Battery Backup Law And New Openers In California

In July of 2019, the State of California passed legislation making battery backups in garage door openers required when we replace a garage door opener or install a new garage door. All models of garage door openers installed by Entry Systems have a battery backup system as required by California law.

Although your garage door opener may be working fine, SB-969 makes it illegal to connect a non-battery backup garage door opener to a brand-new garage door.

The fine is currently $1000 per garage door opener left installed.

A Note About Screw Drive Garage Door Openers

The screw drive model was one of the original types of garage door openers popularized in the 1960s for residential home use. There are still many of these types of openers in Southern California homes, and we carry common parts for these in our office or on our trucks, such as couplers and trolleys or carriages, for repair purposes. There were many brands of screw-drive openers in the past, but now, only Genie offers a screw-drive model. Today, buying a screw-drive model by special order is still possible. However, they were prone to dripping grease, need more maintenance due to weather conditions, and have been mostly replaced by chain and belt drive models.
