Moreover, the door can be integrated with garage door openers that come with smart technology, enabling users to control the door remotely through mobile apps.

Safety is another priority with the Wayne-Dalton 6100. The door incorporates safety features such as pinch-resistant panels and an automatic reverse mechanism, which ensures that the door will stop and reverse immediately if it detects an obstacle in its path. This is essential for preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of family members and pets.
