Garage Door Opener Types

Types of Garage Door Opener And Their Difference

There are plenty of garage door opener types in the market. These openers address different styles, needs, garage door sizes, and materials.

Chain drive garage door openers are the most common and popular type. It is also the most affordable choice for wooden or insulated garage doors because of its durability and strength. However, it operates loudly and requires regular maintenance.

Belt-driven garage door openers have similar functionalities to chain drive, except they use rubber belts rather than chains. It is affordable for light and heavy door materials or multi-panel or single doors. Belt-driven openers are also the quietest type of opener, but they are more expensive than chain-drive openers. Belt-driven also has a shorter life span than other openers.

Jackshaft or wall-mounted openers are ideal for residential or commercial garages with low, high, or angled ceilings. It also operates quietly and maximizes space with safety and customizable features. With features like this, it is much more expensive than the first two.

Screw drive openers has a 10-15 year life expectancy, making it a long-lasting choice for homeowners. This opener has a threaded metal rod that functions like a screw upon opening and closing. It’s an affordable choice if you want something long-lasting and durable. However, you may need to lubricate this opener frequently and expect issues during temperature fluctuations.

Garage Door Opener Location

Garage door openers are typically located on the wall near your garage door and above the ceiling. Homeowners can control it through buttons on the wall or a small remote from a short distance to easily move in and out of the garage.

When to Replace Garage Door Openers?

Garage door openers have a long life span, and professional technicians can easily repair most problems. Although, replacements are also necessary in the following circumstances: a much-needed upgrade, stronger security, and more.

Visible wear and tear is the most common and inevitable reason you must replace your openers. Most openers last between 15 and 20 years, depending on your usage, model, and maintenance. 

One of the most common and noticeable signs that you need an opener replacement is your garage door’s slow operation. Sometimes, you notice it slowing down, lagging, or being a bit bumpy. There are several other reasons why this may be the case, and replacing your openers is one of them.

Chain garage door openers are the loudest among every other type. When the noise gets too loud, it is also a sign for an upgrade. Additionally, an extremely noisy opener can be a sign of something wrong with the automatic motor. 

When your garage door suddenly becomes difficult to operate and unreliable, it may be high time for a replacement. Your garage door is pretty heavy and can weigh an average of 200 pounds. A malfunctioning door opener can cause your door to get stuck, reverse, move very slowly, and even rattle during operation.

This unreliability is dangerous for daily use and around people, especially kids. Plus, it can cause so much inconvenience to your daily routine. 

Older opener models are not only outdated but also unsafe. Modern garage door openers have amazing features such as anti-theft technology, guest codes, and vacation mode. Most modern openers have added safety features and Wi-Fi connections that protect you and your home.

Broken/Damaged Garage Door Opener

A broken or damaged opener needs either a repair service or a replacement. 

Technicians will come and thoroughly inspect your garage door openers. They will also look through other components and distinguish if your opener can still be repaired or will need to be replaced.

Common signs that your garage door opener needs to be replaced are:

  • Visible wear & tear
  • Outdated technology or style
  • Extreme noises during the operation
  • Shaky or rattling door during operation
  • Difficulty or unreliability during operation
  • Assessment: A technician will head to your garage to inspect your opener and other parts. They will also be conducting different tests to properly identify the problem.
  • Preparation: The technician will cut out the opener and then lock the door so it cannot be moved. Ensuring the safety of the door is crucial during the replacement process.
  • Opener Replacement: The replacement process will begin with the technician removing your existing opener and its components. They will then proceed to assemble your new opener components together. The opener also comes with other parts, such as the rails, belt/chain/pulley, and more.
  • Testing: Once the opener is installed and connected to other parts of your system, the technician will conduct several tests to ensure smooth and safe operation.
  • Final Inspection: The final step will be a complete checkup of your system. Our trained technicians ensure your garage system is in optimal shape and each part is secured tightly and safely.

Garage door opener replacement is a complex and intricate home improvement service. For your safety, you must get a professional opener replacement service to ensure proper and secure installation. Moreover, if you’re looking for an upgrade, it’s best to let the professionals revamp your entire system. Lastly, hiring professionals gives you access to the best openers available.

I cannot recommend this company based on customer service. They did not meet my expectations in terms of communication and professionalism. My expectation was for a professional to see the work, provide a quote, and complete the work without me needing to oversee any of the process. I communicated with the technician that I had small children in the house and I could not step away, and repeatedly he insisted I come see things outside. Only after making me come out 3 separate times did he offer to call me with any further questions. I communicated that I simply wanted a price to repair/replace and did not need specifics on what was needed, and the conversation drug on unnecessarily. I was then billed the entire amount for repair which I said was fine. The technician said he only needed a deposit and was going to refund the remaining balance, I told him that wasn’t necessary and against what I said, he did what he wanted. The technicians did show up on time but other than that, the process has been a hassle.

I highly recommend Easy Door Company, especially the amazing technician David! They are extremely professional and truly experts when it comes to garage doors. David identified the root cause of the issue within the first 3 minutes of his inspection. He gave me a clear, detailed explanation of what went wrong and how it could be fixed—offering multiple repair options with minimal parts replacement. The work came with a 2-year warranty, and the confidence they showed in their repair was truly reassuring. My garage door is now working better than ever—even better than when it was .

I have to say that the service was impeccable. Everything always explained to me thoroughly. Response time was fast. Work was done pretty fast. Replaced the 16’ tube, 7’ cables, drums, & spring. The technician, David was great. I wasn’t in love with the price, but wasted no time paying it. I could’ve done it myself….but not as great a job & I wouldn’t have a warranty! I Highly recommend this company.

I can’t give as many stars as Easy Garage Doors deserves!They were very quick to respond to my online request for service and very easy to set up an appointment with quickly. David diagnosed my problem, ordered the necessary parts and when they arrived, set up a mutually beneficial time to do the installation. He and the installer Martin, we’re very polite, respectful and went over and above their duties to make sure I had everything I needed, including programming my remotes and even my car on a separate trip. Can’t recommend this company more highly..wonderful!!

My garage spring had snapped from the cold weather (below freezing) and was able to call this company with a super fast response and was able to get David to come to my home when I needed. He was attentive to my needs and was able to finish the work in less than an hour and I was able to check his work with satisfaction.

Torsion springs broke and needed replacement. Found Easy on google.Great responsiveness and professionalism. They answer the phone after a few rings, and David showed up within a couple hours.David was very knowledgeable, respectful, and professional in every way.My only negative was the price. I wanted urgent, quality work, and I got that, but shopping around would result in cheaper options.
