Which Garage Door Opener Do You Have?
There are three main types of garage door openers on the market, and each of them run into their own sets of problems. Before you can determine what you can do to fix it, or what you should tell to your repair company, you need to identify which kind of opener you have.
- Chain Generator Opener: The most widely used garage door opener due to its durability and affordable price. The main disadvantages of this opener type is that it requires adjustment once in a while, and generates the most noise.
- Screw Drive Opener: This opener is known for easy maintenance, as its mechanism has less moving parts. Screw drive openers are, however, not very sustainable to temperature fluctuations.
- Rubber Belt-Drive Opener: This is the quietest and slightly fastest option available on the market. The rubber belt-drive opener is, however, not designed to open very heavy garage doors. If you are having frequent problems with your opener you should consult with your repair company if your door is mismatched to your opener.
