There Are 4 Kind of Primary Openers

Screw Drive Garage Door Opener

March 13, 2022 No Comments

The most challenging garage door opener is the screw drive. The screw drive garage door opener utilizes a threaded rod fixed into a track running from the garage door to the opener. A trolley is connected to the threaded rod extending an arm & firmly attached to the garage door. The arm raises or lowers the door. The motor turns the threaded rod when the garage door is engaged, moving the trolley along the rod.

Pros
Size 100%

Compact & perfect for a garage with a low ceiling. The smaller size means you think you have less power, yet that isn’t the case. Much lifting force is lost between the motor and the garage door with chain and belt drive systems. A screw-drive opener is more efficient in power transfer. A similar-sized screw-drive opener can lift more in weight than a chain drive opener that’s a similar size.

Volume 100%

The quietest of all the openers is the screw-drive garage door opener. There’s no chain clanking around & it doesn’t get squeaky like some chain drive openers. The transfer of power is efficient, lifting movements are smoother & don’t create noise-generating pulls & jerks. If you leave home early in the morning or come home late from work, the noise level with a screw-drive garage door opener is perfect for you.

Cost 75%
  • The price can be slightly more than a ceiling-mounted opener.

 

Jack Shaft Garage Door Opener

March 13, 2022 No Comments

A jackshaft garage door opener – also called a wall mount or side mount garage door opener – is an excellent answer for your residential garage door. A jackshaft garage door opener mounts to the wall of the garage next to the garage door track. Jackshafts link straight to the torsion bar above the garage door.

Pros
Operating Conditions 100%
  • Jackshafts are the more quiet garage door opener, having fewer parts moving, making them quieter.
Space 100%

Jackshaft garage door openers leave less headroom in your garage & are great if you have a high ceiling in your garage.

Cost 75%
  • The price can be slightly more than a ceiling-mounted opener.

 

Chain Driven Openers

March 13, 2022 No Comments

Chain drives are commonly used & are a dependable garage door opener. This drive steers the garage door on its track utilizing a metal chain. Chain drives can be very noisy yet are cheaper than belt drives. Avoid a chain drive garage door opener if your garage is near or below an adjoining room. If your garage door is older, you probably have a chain drive.

Pros
Power

A chain drive will have no problem lifting a garage door. There’s also no risk that they’ll slip in the process, which suggests chain drives are slightly safer.

Maintenance

If adequately maintained, chain drives can last years. Unlike a belt drive, they are great at standing weather conditions such as humidity. Chain drives require lubrication regularly, or rust will build up and eventually cause the chain drive to fail.

Operating Conditions

Chain drives tend to shake & usually lift garage doors a few seconds slower than a belt drive opener.

Belt-Driven Openers

March 13, 2022 No Comments

What’s the best type of opener? Belt drives. This drive operates on a steel-reinforced belt & prices can range from just a few dollars more than chain & screw drive openers. Belt drives are reliable as chain drives; & quiet.

 

If your garage is connected to surrounding bedrooms, installing a belt-driven garage door opener is a great choice. Multiple consumers end up extremely happy when they buy a belt drive opener and can’t even imagine going back to a noisy chain opener.

Pros
Power

Belt drives will do an excellent job lifting nearly any kind of garage door. Many larger motorcycles use drive belt construction, delivering durability as well.

Volume

The chain drive mechanism of raising & lowering your garage doors can be a noisy experience. However, a belt drive almost stops noise, which is one of the main benefits.

Rate

Belt drive garage doors lift a garage door faster than chain counterparts. If you rush into your home all the time, then a belt drive system is a better option.

Rate

Belt drives don’t require lubrication, unlike chain drives do.

    FAQ: Garage Door Opener Service

    Like most mechanical devices, garage door openers aren’t built to last forever. Even if they stay longer than expected, they won’t deliver the same results after ten years, even with routine maintenance. Electric garage door openers typically have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.

    A common cause of garage door remotes not working is dead batteries. Hold the remote near the garage door motor unit to see if it works. If it still doesn’t work, the battery is likely dead.
