Type of Garage Door Openers

Understanding the type of your garage door opener can let you better diagnose problems when they arise. The three main types are chain drive, belt drive, and screw drive openers.

Chain Drive: This uses a metal chain to push or pull the trolley which moves your door up and down. They're reliable but can be noisy because of their mechanism.
Belt Drive: Similar to chain drives but use a rubber belt instead making them quieter than their counterparts.
Screw Drive: These work with a threaded steel rod rather than chains or belts, offering less noise and maintenance requirements.

If you’re unsure about what kind of opener you have installed on your garage door system, don’t hesitate to ask our experts for guidance.

Troubleshooting Your Garage Door Opener Problems

No one wants to come home after a long day only to find out that their garage won't open. Common issues include not responding properly or excessive noise during operation. But don't worry - we've got some tips for troubleshooting these problems before calling us for repair services.

If there's no response when pressing the remote control button or wall switch, check if the power source is connected properly and replace batteries if necessary.
In case the problem persists even after changing batteries, then try reprogramming the remote as sometimes signals get mixed up, especially in neighborhoods where multiple houses might have similar systems.
Excessive noise can be a result of loose hardware or lack of lubrication. Regular maintenance should help keep these problems at bay.

If all the above methods have been attempted and your garage door opener is still not working, it may be time to contact us.
