There are several factors that determine the cost of a garage door. For example, the cost may depend on the size, model and decorative options as well as the material used for the door.

How does the rolling code system work?
Simply put, the rolling code remote control or keypad transmits encrypted radio frequencies to the garage door opener, which in turn translates them and ensures they are coming from an authorized transmitter. So, the door opens. The system is very safe according to our garage door company in Skokie since the transmitter sends another code every single time is pressed. The codes are selected randomly among billions of combinations and that's why they're safe.
