Once known as “that place you park your car,”Garages can now be used as craft areas, work spaces, or entertaining and recreational spaces. Garages have been extended to the home.
While most people prepare their homes for the changing seasons of the year, many don’t give their garages much thought. However, garages that are updated can be more useful and safer.
LiftMaster is made by the Chamberlain Groupwww.LiftMaster.comThe brand of professional-installed garage door openers, and access solutions, is able to offer tips for improving your garage this fall.
* Create more storage space. Storage space can become a problem as kids bring home more sports equipment. It’s simple to make additional storage space. Just look at the ceiling. A side-mounted garage opener like the LiftMaster Side-Mounted Opener is a powerful and innovative way to save space.
* Secure the entrance to your home. The garage is used by more than 70% of homeowners. Children often let themselves in the garage to get home after school. Installing a fingerprint-activated keyless entry means that you won’t have to worry about lost keys or kids telling their friends the access code.
Sometimes, children may open doors accidentally. A garage door monitoring system can protect your house. You can place the monitor anywhere you like and it will notify you if your garage door is left open.
* Always have a back-up plan. You might find yourself without power if you leave your car in your garage. Some garage door openers can still work even when the power is out elsewhere in the house. LiftMaster garage doors with EverCharge Standby Power System can open and close the door up to two days indefinitely.
