New garage door openers come with bells and whistles: battery backup so you're not stranded in an outage, smart-home integration, and current safety features. However, an opener under ten years old with one failed part — a gear, a circuit board, a sensor — is usually worth repairing. Past fifteen years, parts get harder to source and the safety features built into current models, like auto-reverse sensitivity, rolling remote codes, and battery backup, aren't there at all. ROLL gives a straight answer on which side of that line your unit falls, not an upsell.
