LiftMaster Garage Door Openers

LiftMaster is a brand of the Chamberlain Group, which opened its business doors in 1930. The LiftMaster product itself was put into production in the late 1960s and has been an innovator in the market ever since.

LiftMaster garage door openers are known for their durability and quality, and their MyQ system has put them on the cutting edge when it comes to smart technology integration.

LiftMaster Product Categories and Series Overview

LiftMaster’s products are known for their quality, and they offer a variety to choose from for both residential and commercial needs. 

LiftMaster myQ Smart Technology

Do you ever get down the road and wonder if you remembered to close your garage door? It’s happened to all of us, but with the myQ app by LiftMaster you never have to worry. Closing your garage door is a tap away, no matter where you are.

But it’s more than closing or opening your garage door that is a benefit of this smart technology. It can be integrated with other programs and used alongside Amazon Prime for secure placement of your packages. 

In short, it provides added control versus a standard garage door remote, so you have access wherever you might be.

myQ App Features and Functionality

Through the app or the cloud-based software program, users will know whether a garage door is open or closed and receive notifications. You can even set recurring schedules for your garage door and lights. 

The myQ app can also diagnose real-time issues with your opener, making maintenance calls less of a hassle. The program can also be added to older openers and limited access can be shared with up to five users.

LiftMaster Maintenance

We all expect our garage doors to work, and when they don’t, it can be a hassle to know exactly how to troubleshoot the issue. The first stop you should make if an issue arises with your opener is to the manual (either a printed version or one can be found on the company’s website). If that doesn’t work or you aren’t comfortable with trying to fix it yourself, the best bet is to contact your installer and they can send someone out to diagnose the issue and put together a repair plan.

We recommend yearly check-ups on your garage door opener and door itself to ensure everything is working probably and perhaps you can proactively stop a potential issue. Being observant of any squeaking or wonky movements of the door are helpful hints that an issue could be on the horizon.

LiftMaster Pricing and Value Analysis

LiftMaster is considered a premium brand when it comes to garage door openers, so it tends to skew on the higher side of the cost spectrum. That said, that price pays for a quality product that has decades of history in its favor as a top brand. 

A good garage door opener, just as with a quality garage door, typically is a good investment that helps in recouping the homeowners’ investment in the resale value. It might not be the biggest selling point of a home by far, but it’s one a new buyer won’t have to be concerned with – and that’s a good thing.

LiftMaster Warranty and Support

LiftMaster does offer warranties on its products, but exactly what that warranty is depends on the model of garage door opener you choose. It’s important to speak to the dealer you choose for the installation and get the details both on the warranty of the product itself and if the installer has any as well.
