5 Ways to Easily Upgrade Your Garage
- by Bryan Veldboom - updated on 5/13/2021
With the weather getting warmer, now’s the perfect time to show your garage some much-needed attention. Whether you're looking to add some additional lighting to a workspace, make your garage more secure, or just replace the batteries in your garage door remote, Batteries Plus has you covered. Here are our top 5 garage enhancements.
Garage Lighting
If your garage is anything like mine, it's very low on available lighting. The UltraLast 4 Panel Adjustable LED Utility Light is perfect for garages with only a few light bulb sockets. It features four separate LED lighting panels that are 5x brighter than 60w light bulbs. Best of all, the hinged panels can be conveniently angled in any direction, making it great for workspaces.
Garage Door Opener Batteries
Have you noticed that your garage door opener hasn't been working consistently? If so, it's probably because the batteries in your remote are dying. Most garage door openers use either an A-23 alkaline or a 2032 lithium-ion battery. Typically these batteries will need to be replaced about every two years. Stop into your nearest Batteries Plus or shop our selection of replacement alkaline and lithium batteries online.
Replacement Garage Door Remotes & Keypads
If replacing the batteries doesn't fix the problem, maybe you need a new remote. This Genie Aladdin Smart Garage Door Controller is compatible with all major garage door opener brands. It features a smart app so you can open, close or check the status of your garage door while you're away. There's also a 3-Button Garage Door Opener, which allows you to control up to three separate garage doors from the same remote.
Are you someone who's constantly losing your remotes? The Genie Wireless Exterior Keypad is the solution for you. Mount it outside your garage, then access your garage with a personal pin number.
Smart Home Products
Looking for a way to make your garage more secure? A smart garage door controller might be the answer for you. Enjoy the convenience of operating your garage door from anywhere using your phone. It's perfect for admitting house guests or workers when you're away from home. It will even send you alerts whenever the garage door is operated, so that you can be certain that your garage is secure and safe.
A smart video camera is another great security option. The Geeni Hawk 3 is one of our most popular models. Monitor your home with live stream video through your phone or favorite device. There's also a motion sensor alarm that detects movement and sends real-time alerts. You can even use the camera's 2-way audio to hear what's happening and communicate with guests, workers or delivery people. Plus, the camera is compatible with most Alexa, Google Assistant, iOS and Android devices. Pick up your Geeni Hawk 3 today or find out about other smart camera solutions.
