garage opener

Driveway door remote

A garage opener is a motorized device that raises and lowers a garage door, typically activated by a remote control or wall-mounted button.

The term usually refers to the complete system—motor, track mechanism, and remote—though it sometimes means just the handheld remote: I keep the garage opener clipped to my visor.
