The 4 Main Types of Garage Door Openers
Chain Drive Openers - Residential & Commercial
Over 70% of garage door openers sold today are chain driven openers. They are durable, reliable, and offer lasting performance. They can also be very quite depending on the brand you choose. Chain drive openers are designed specifically to lift even the heaviest custom wood and carriage house garage doors.
Belt Drive Openers - Residential & Commercial
Belt drive systems offer the ultimate in quiet operation. Heavy-duty belt drive is as tough and smooth-running power opener with reliable performance year after year. They are a great choice for homes with living space above or next to the garage.
Residential & Commercial Jackshaft Openers
Specially designed for garages that don't allow for a traditionally mounted garage door opener, a jackshaft opener is perfect when you need to save space or have an oversized door, a cathedral or very low ceiling, or an obstructed ceiling. It mounts on the wall beside the garage door.
Common Problems with garage door openers
Garage door will not go up or down?
This issue can happen due to several reasons. One of which can be just a manual wire that was pushed accidently as we explained above, a fluty opener or even a broken spring that just wont let the opener lift the door.
​
Clicking or gridding sound from when you want to use your garage door?
It might be the opener gear that needs to be replaced. It can also be a chain or belt that are too loose and need adjustment.
​
Opener works but the door is not open/shut all the way, why?
This is a very common issue that requires most times to reprogram the opener limits. you can refer to the device manual but we do not recommend trying to fix it on your own without the help of an expert.
