Choosing The Best Garage Door Opener
Automatic garage door openers are a luxury that many take for granted — until they need repair or replacement. A dependable opener means you can access your garage from the comfort of your car with modern mobile technology. High-quality openers also feature security codes that allow only you or the people you trust to enter.
Garage Door Opener Options and Their Benefits
Selecting the ideal garage door opener depends on your door. The amount of power you need for an opener varies depending on the size and weight of your garage door. Consider these options:
- Drive types: There are three primary garage door opener drives — chain, screw and belt. Although chain drives produce the most vibration and noise, they’re often the most powerful and economical. Screw drive openers have the fewest moving parts and usually require the least maintenance, while belt drive openers offer the least amount of noise.
- Horsepower options: While the size and weight of your door sometimes dictate your opener’s necessary horsepower, purchasing a more powerful opener often leads to longer dependable service and reliability. Typical options generally range from 1/3 to 3/4 horsepower.
- Garage door sizes: Before committing to a new opener, you should ensure that it’ll work with your current door system. Most residential garage doors are 7 feet high, and many stock openers will accommodate this height. If you have a non-standard door size, your new opener may require modification.
