New California Garage Door Opener Law and What to Know

John Kinney, Owner of JMK Garage Doors

Hello, my name is John. I am the owner of JMK Garage Doors, a family owned and operated company since 1980. 

This is not a DIY blog.  There are many aspects to the garage door and opener repairs that can be very dangerous and require a trained professional to perform the repairs, services or installation.

My goal is to help you, the consumer, make a better-informed decision when purchasing a garage door or opener; or service.  JMK has been in business for over 39 years and we are a full-service company.  We sell, service, repair and install residential and commercial doors.  Our installers and technicians are in-house employees.  We do not subcontract our installation repairs or service.  This gives us more control on the quality of work and scheduling of time.  

Moving onto the garage door news, the state of California will implement a new law SB969  stating that all garage door openers sold and installed after July 1, 2019 in California must have a built in battery backup system and new doors purchased and installed after July 1, 2019 must be attached to an opener with a battery backup.  Current openers that have an infrared safety system and they must comply to the UL325 law.

It will be legal to repair and service the openers but not legal to reconnect to a new door after July 1, 2019.  I hope you found this blog helpful. Give us a call with any questions! 909-982-4757
