A garage motor is an electric device that automatically opens and closes your garage door. Depending on the type of door, the motor either drives the door along tracks—common for sectional and roller doors—or lifts it by pivoting, as with tilt doors. You can operate the garage motor using a remote control, wall button, or compatible smart home system.

Before anything, you need to take note of your door’s weight, type and size. This will inform you which garage motor is compatible with your garage door. Consult with your door manufacturer's specs or a professional garage door installer to find a motor that has the right power capabilities.

First, you should check the power source to make sure that the remote or wall switch is working properly. If the problem continues, check your manual. You can also contact Remote Pro directly and experience our 5-star service.

The majority of our garage motors come with a backup battery feature. Check out our product descriptions to check the specifications.

For heavier garage doors, it’s recommended to have a motor with at least 3/4 horsepower to ensure smooth and reliable opening and closing.
