There are a few different types of garage door openers on the market. There are different brands as well as different makes of openers. The garage door openers that Grove City Garage Door Inc. recommends is the Chamberlain brand belt drive opener, or the LiftMaster belt drive openers.
Why do we recommend these openers?
The Chamberlain brand and LiftMaster brand are both made well and last a long period of time, this is one of the reasons we recommend these brands. Another reason is the quiet operation of both brands. A belt drive opener operates quiet and does not require maintenance.
There are three different types of garage door openers on the market also. A belt drive opener, a chain drive opener, and a screw drive opener. We always recommend a belt drive opener!
Difference in garage door openers: Belt Drive, Chain Drive, and Screw Drive
Belt Drive Garage Door Opener: A belt drive opener is driven by a belt from the opener for quiet operation, long lasting durability, and zero maintenance!
Chain Drive Opener: A chain drive opener is driven by a chain which causes noisy operation, requires grease, and wears out quicker from the chain!
Screw Drive Opener: A screw drive opener is driven by a screw which is extremely noisy operation, requires grease, and wears out fast!
Maintaining your garage door:
The garage door requires little to no maintenance when a steel garage door has been installed. The steel garage door should be maintained once a year to avoid costly garage door repairs!
What is maintained?
-The garage door is oiled and adjusted
-The springs are oiled
-The garage door opener is looked over for good operation
-The cables are looked at to make sure they are on and operating
-The rollers are oiled
-The track is looked at to make sure there are not any damages
Maintaining a garage door is simple and will help make the garage door opener last a longer period of time. If a garage door is misaligned the garage door opener will wear out faster from the gears turning harder to open and close a garage door. One broken spring on a garage door can cause an opener to wear out faster. The springs aide in lifting the garage door along with the garage door opener. Replacing one spring when it breaks could help a garage door opener last longer. And as a rule of thumb, if one spring breaks; the other spring will break soon, so you may as well replace both springs at the same time to avoid us coming out twice within a month!
