Garage door openers may not work around technological devices

Garage door openers are useful devices in today’s society, but many people are unaware that the many technological devices in their households may cause a garage door opener to malfunction.

Garage door openers are susceptible to the changes in airwaves. For instance, if a cell phone is used near a garage door opener, it emits a radio wave which could cause the garage door opener to stop working. As residents in Ontelaunee Township, Pennsylvania recently learned, garage door openers can stop working unexpectedly when an area is saturated with radio and other airwaves. In one neighborhood, every resident experienced garage door opener problems at the same time.
