Quiet and Efficient Operation

Powered by smooth, quiet DC motors ranging from 800N to 1000N. With a soft start and stop to minimize noise, they're ideal for garages adjacent to living spaces. The selectable door opening position lets you customize how far your garage door opens, providing flexibility for ventilation or partial access when needed.

Bright LED Lighting

Illuminate your entire garage with dimmable, natural white LED lighting that lasts the lifetime of the opener. With three levels of brightness available, these energy-efficient LEDs make sure your garage is well-lit every time you use it. Timer settings let you control how long the light stays on, from 1 to 4 minutes. Or turn it on manually for use as a garage work light, and the light will stay on until you turn it off or activate the garage door opener.
