You've reached that stage in your life where you share a house with your better half or simply change the garage door. You need a new command.

In fact, a universal gate control that you can configure and use without problems.

Discover how easy it is to find compatible controls for garage doors. Know the five essential points to consider when choosing the best command for automatic gates!

 

Universal controls for garage doors: what to consider when choosing

 

1. Model and brand of garage door

Generally, the motor housing of automatic gates has the mark engraved.

This basic statement is a way to ensure universal gate control compatibility.

If you have the specification manual delivered by the technical team at the time of installation, even better! There you will find all the information you need to choose a direct copy.

On the other hand, if you live in a building and want to copy the command of the common garage door, probably the simplest thing would be to ask the condominium administrator for information.

 

2. Frequency and type of encoding

A command emits a radio signal that carries a code.

There are several types of codes and control technology that the radio signal can carry.

So the most common frequency tends to be 433.92mhz, but there are also systems with other frequencies. It may be pertinent to opt for a 280-868mhz Multi-frequency command.

The same goes for the ability to duplicate fixed, binary, trinary or rolling codes.

 

3. Desired remote control type

The offer is vast: remote controls with one, two, three or more buttons; with or without protective cover; with or without keyring hook…

One of the most important features will be the number of channels available. In other words, a four-button command will have four different channels: it memorizes up to 4 different codes (from car central locking systems, garage doors, automatic gates to electrical applications).

Therefore, you must understand what use you are going to give the command to choose what will be most suitable.

 

4. Recording Type

After knowing the characteristics of the system that you want to trigger and defining the type of command you want, it remains to be understood how to program it.

A command frequency recording may be made for command (by proximity) or the universal may need to be added to the receiver.

This last option involves opening the receiver box to access the control board and configure it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

 

 

5. Price

Finally, once all the requirements of the receiver and transmitter are known - and in case there are several products that serve the same purpose - it's time to look at prices.
