Opener Types
To select the right type of garage door opener, it’s essential to take into account the size and weight of your garage door, along with your unique requirements and preferences before buying, as each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. Whether you prefer ease of use, convenience, or safety, there’s a remote out there that’s perfect for you.
With a chain mechanism attached to a trolley, chain drive openers are designed to lift and lower garage doors. They have a powerful motor, making them an ideal option for heavy and large garage doors.
For a quieter option, consider a belt drive opener, which uses a rubber belt to operate the garage door. This type of opener is ideal for homes where the garage is located near a bedroom or living area.
With a threaded steel rod, screw drive openers lift and lower garage doors using fewer moving parts compared to other garage door types, making them an ideal option for most residential garage doors due to their quiet operation.
A direct drive opener uses a motor to move the garage door directly, without the need for chains or belts, making them a quiet and smooth option. They’re ideal for homes where the garage is located beneath a bedroom or living area.
Jackshaft drive openers are mounted on the wall beside the garage door and use a system of gears and tubes connected to springs to open and close the door. They are a great option for garages with high or low ceilings.
