Consideration on Types of Openers Before Installation

There are different types of garage door openers available in the market varying in terms of prices, features, usage and other factors. It can be really confusing in choosing the right model if you do not know the basic mechanism and difference between these models.

 

Different Kinds of Opener

Depending upon the type of functioning and mechanism, the openers can be categorized mainly in three types:

Belt Drive: These are best suited for luxurious homes where the garage is near to the living rooms. They provide high quality and durable performance without any hassles. The specialty of the belt drive openers lies in the minimal noise during opening and closing functions. The durable belts are available in steel-reinforced rubber, fiberglass, and polyurethane materials.

Chain Drive: These are ancient models usually very noisy. However, they are ideal choices for lifting heavy weight shutters. Being less expensive compared to other types, they are very popular and can be fixed to any type of garage door. Nowadays the advanced chain drive models have become less noisy but they are good choices for homes that are at some distance from the garage.    

Screw Drive: These durable openers are suitable for tilt enhanced single piece doors. They operate with the help of a motorized trolley system that helps in lifting the doors and sliding down instead of using a belt or chain. The installation cost is slightly higher compared to the other two types of door openers. They contain very few parts and easy to maintain for long-term usage.

Note:  The Screw Drive is not suitable for areas that have extreme temperature fluctuations during the seasonal changes.
