Liftmaster Feature in Detail

Liftmaster Professional is a leader in the industry when it comes to durability, safety, and the newest technology! Below are the features you saw listed with the openers in more detail. While many models come with several of the listed features, some features are on certain models only:

Extreme Durability:

  • The Liftmaster chain drive and belt drive openers come with a solid steel rail that goes from the unit to the door vs a pieced together rail. This provides extreme durability, as there are not several points along the rail where strength is compromised. Most garage door openers purchased online or in hardware stores will come with a pieced together rail or no rail at all.

Advanced Wifi Technology and Monitoring:

  • Remote Access: Control and monitor your garage door opener from your smart device using the free myQ app. Get notifications if your garage door was left open and close it from wherever you are!

  • Diagnostics: Receive updates, alerts, error codes, and health reports for your opener with myQ Diagnostics through the free myQ app

  • Integrated Bluetooth Techology: Easy wifi set up

Convenience:

  • Battery Back-Up: If you arrive home during a power outage, you can still open and close the garage door

  • HomeLink®: No more keeping track of remote controls! Eradicate the need for remote controls by programming the buttons in your car directly to the automatic door.

  • Amazon Key: have packages and groceries delivered safely and securely into your garage to avoid theft or damage by bad weather

  • Motion Detecting Lighting: triggers the light to come on when entering the garage for immediate visibility

  • Outside Keypad: a favorite of most of our customers, and outside keypad is a great feature to have if you need access to the garage but do not want to carry remote controls or your smart device with you. (ie: going for a walk or doing yard work.) Quickly enter a code and it will open right up! This is great for the kids to have easy access as well.

  • Supreme Lighting: options for LED lighting, dual LED lighting, and corner-to-corner LED lighting

  • Trolley Release System: If your opener is not working and you need to disconnect it from the door, you may pull the red cord, disengaging the trolley, and disengaging the opener from the door to operate it manually.

  • Remote Controls: Open and close your garage door with remotes you can take anywhere with you on the go

Safety:

  • Built-in camera: monitor what is happening at all times in your garage with two-way audio communication and video through the myQ app. Includes night vision, anti-glare technology, and high HD quality video.

  • Rolling Code Technology: Each time you open and close your garage door, the code changes so that it may not be copied. In the old days, remotes had a set sequence of dip switches that could be copied. No more!

  • Safety Sensors: the garage door will reverse if it touches something or senses that something is in the way. Keep your belongings and loved ones safe with this extremely important feature.
