Get smart in the garage: Don’t forget to include a garage door opener upgrade in your summer reno plans

Now that the days are getting warmer, it’s finally time to put the finishing touches on your home and garden and get ready for BBQs with your friends and family.

We all know that the garage is an important part of our home (where else do the spare beers go?), so as part of ‘zhuzhing up’ the house this summer, don’t forget to give your garage a bit of love.

Here are our tips on how to upgrade your garage to be the envy of your street.

Find the right fit

If you’re in a rush to leave the house, or getting home after a long day at work, you may have often wished your garage door was remote controlled. With a Chamberlain garage door opener fitted to a new or your existing garage door, your wish can come true.

Roller action

Choose the Chamberlain RollerLift roller garage door opener for single roller doors, or the Chamberlain RollerLift Plus roller garage door opener for double.

You can transform sectional garage doors too – the Chamberlain SectionalLift sectional garage door opener is ideal for a single door, while the Chamberlain SectionalLift Plus sectional garage door opener will suit double doors.

Easy set up

Check that your door size is compatible, then simply follow the straightforward DIY installation instructions to get your door opener up and running.

If DIY isn’t for you, Bunnings can help with door opener installation from just $229 – visit the Special Orders Desk in store for more details.

Make it a Smart Garage

With summer coming, this is your chance to make your compatible garage door smart with the Chamberlain myQ Connectivity Kit. This clever kit lets you control and monitor the garage door from your smartphone, and Bunnings can help you with set up here too, for an additional cost.

All you need to do is connect the included Gateway to your Wi-Fi router, install the Safety Beams, download the app and connect to your home internet. When your friends, family or tradies need to drop by, you can easily let them in via the myQ app. Plus, you’ll get alerts and notifications when the garage door opens and closes (or when you’ve accidentally left it open), giving you peace of mind
