Choose the Type of Garage Door opener to fit your needs.

There are four main types of garage door openers.

Chain Drive

Chain Drive garage door openers use a metal chain to power the opening and closing of your garage door. Chain drive systems are the most common, but tend to be a little noisy. Chain drive openers are very reliable and economical and a good choice in very cold climates.

Belt Drive

Belt Drive garage door openers are extremely quiet. This type of garage door opener offers reliable, ultra-quiet and long lasting performance. They also cost a little bit more. These openers slow down for starts and stops and have more advanced security features that prevent would-be intruders from gaining access to your code. The belt drive is considered to be the best garage door opener available.

Screw Drive

Screw Drive garage door openers use a lifting mechanism that moves along a threaded steel rod. They are powerful units and, because they have few moving parts, require the least maintenance. This is generally the slowest moving of the three types of openers and is not as quiet as the belt drive units. However, the latest models feature plastic lined track and increased opening speed while reducing the noise levels.

Jack Shaft

Jack Shaft openers are specially designed for applications where a traditional garage door opener won't fit, such as garages with very low, cathedral or obstructed ceilings. The system allows for more overhead storage. The Liftmaster Model 3800 Jackshaft has a lifetime warranty on the motor and a 5 year warranty on parts.

Repair or Replace?

As the largest moving part in your home, the safe, secure, and efficient operation of your garage door is essential.

Repair

When your garage door opener stops working properly, it can often be repaired without too much problem and repair is typically a less expensive option than replacing your unit. We often recommend repair over replacement for this reason.

Replace

There are times when replacement is your best option:

• If your opener is more than 15 years old we recommend replacement to improve the safe operation of your door. Note: Federal Regulations (UL 325) were updated in 1993 making garage door openers safer.
• If we have Safety Concerns with a specific Brand or the manufacturer has been successfully sued for safety defects, we will not repair that model.
• If there are no photo electric safety eyes present on your system, we will not be able to repair the unit.
• If the brand no longer exists, parts will be unavailable & replacing your opener is usually the only option.
