One of the most amazing and compelling things about modern technology is that we have much more insight and control when it comes to the performance and overall health of the various devices and equipment that we use. Where, in the past, we had to rely mostly on gut instinct or signs of wear to know when it’s time to perform maintenance, nowadays we are provided with real-time feedback to enable us to take the necessary action before a system gets to the point where it becomes unreliable or fails entirely.

Think of your car. Most newer models will alert you via an indication on the dashboard or instrument cluster when it’s time for a service, using a combination of factors to determine when the service is due, including the car’s mileage, driving conditions, engine usage or simply a predetermined interval. This makes it much easier for us to keep our vehicles in top form without having to constantly and consciously monitor performance ourselves, which would not only be hugely inconvenient, but would probably make us a little bit on edge whenever we are operating the vehicle, or whatever other system that requires routine maintenance.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way of being notified when your garage door is due for a tune-up? After all, your garage is more than a mere structure: it’s an added layer of security for your home and you want to make sure that it’s always fully protected with a reliable garage access system.  

With our state-of-the-art SDO4 SMART garage door motor, we’ve taken the guesswork out of ensuring that your garage door always performs at its best, thanks to the built-in Door Service Monitor – it’s the SMART way to guarantee that your door operates smoothly and safely.

This innovative feature measures the opening and closing runtime differential and monitors the spring balance of the door, giving you a HEADS-UP when it’s time for a TUNE-UP.

Regular maintenance can help to prolong the lifespan of your garage door and its components, saving you the cost of replacing parts or the entire door prematurely. Additionally, performing routine maintenance can help to identify small problems before they become major issues, making repairs easier and more cost-effective.

The SDO4 SMART’s Door Service Monitor helps you keep on top of maintenance, giving you peace of mind and making your life easier.
