What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Smart Wi-Fi Opener Setup?
A complete solution to connect your garage door to the internet for control and monitoring.
We install either a new smart opener or a retrofit Wi-Fi hub, wire safety photo-eyes, pair remotes/keypad/app, configure alerts/schedules, and verify UL 325 safety—so your door is both smart and safe.
Why Choose Urgent Garage Doors
One accountable team: Evaluate → install/retrofit → connect → train under a single PM/tech.
Every configuration: New belt/chain/jackshaft smart openers or add-on Wi-Fi modules for compatible legacy units.
Door-first approach: We balance and tune the door so the smart operator runs within safe limits.
Occupied-space pros: Tidy wiring, surge-protection guidance, and same-day cleanup.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Confirm Wi-Fi strength in the garage (or tell us if it’s weak—we can help).
Decide on must-haves: battery backup, camera, keypad, geofenced auto-close, delivery access.
List phones that need access (family/housemates) and any smart home platforms you use.
Call our team—we’ll match the right smart opener or module for your current door/opener.
Common Scenarios We Handle
No more “Did I close the door?” → real-time status + reminders
Family & guest access → app invites, PIN keypad, time-boxed permissions
Package/delivery access → controlled windows with activity logs
Detached garages → camera + alerts for extra peace of mind
Low headroom/high-lift → pair smart jackshaft openers with Wi-Fi
Older but healthy openers → add-on modules (when compatible)
Safety & Site Control
Protect work area; verify door balance/hardware; confirm GFCI/power and Wi-Fi reach.
Assessment & Sizing
Determine new smart opener vs. retrofit module; confirm headroom/lift type and accessory list (keypad, camera, battery).
Removal/Prep (if replacing)
Remove old opener/rail as needed; install proper header bracket/hangers; neaten low-voltage runs.
Professional Installation
Mount opener or Wi-Fi hub, wire photo-eyes, wall station, keypad/camera; install battery backup where specified.
Programming & Connectivity
Set travel/force limits; pair remotes/keypad; connect app/Wi-Fi, create accounts, set alerts/schedules/guest access.
Walkthrough & Cleanup
Test automations and notifications; review surge protection and maintenance; leave site clean.
What’s Included
Door balance check & compatibility review
Smart opener or retrofit module install (with proper mounts)
Safety & controls (photo-eyes, wall station, remotes; keypad/camera if selected)

Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: 60–120 minutes per opener/module; jackshaft/camera adds time.
Key cost drivers: New smart opener vs retrofit module, battery backup, camera, keypad, wiring conditions, surge protection, and low-headroom/high-lift geometry.
Estimate clarity: Separate lines for opener/module, controls/sensors, accessories (battery/camera/keypad), installation, and haul-away (if replacing).
Insurance & Claims Help
If setup follows surge/lightning or impact events, we’ll supply photo documentation and a concise narrative for records.
Separated scopes: Door repairs vs. smart opener install priced clearly.
(Coverage varies by policy; not financial advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Security gaps without alerts or rolling-code upgrades
Safety non-compliance on legacy units with bypassed sensors
Access headaches for guests/providers without timed permissions
Outage lockouts if you skip battery backup

Safety/Security: UL 325 photo-eyes, correct force settings, rolling-code remotes, vacation lock.
Smart Setup: App pairing, guest access, schedules, geofencing/notifications; integrate keypad and optional camera.
Network Health: Check Wi-Fi RSSI; recommend extenders or PoE AP if needed; surge protection guidance.
Low-Headroom/High-Lift: Jackshaft preferred; verify dead-shaft and sensor placement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make my existing opener “smart”?
Often yes—if compatible, we add a Wi-Fi hub/module; otherwise we recommend a new smart opener.
Do I need great Wi-Fi in the garage?
A stable signal is best. If weak, we can suggest extenders or access points for reliability.
Will multiple phones work?
Yes—add household members with roles/permissions; remove access anytime.
What about privacy with cameras?
We place cameras thoughtfully, help set notifications/zones, and review data retention settings.
Is battery backup worth it?
Highly—keeps access during power outages and is often recommended for safety.
Will you set up the app and keypad for me?
Yes—we pair everything, create accounts, and test alerts/schedules before we leave.
