When Replacement is Advised
We’ve got your back when it comes to safety and reliability. Here’s when we recommend considering a replacement:
Non-Compliant Openers: If your opener was manufactured before the 1993 UL 325 regulations, it’s time for an upgrade to ensure safety.
Missing Safety Eyes: Safety eyes are a must for compliance. If they’re absent, it’s a safety hazard, and we recommend replacing the unit.
Discontinued Brands and Models: Parts availability can become an issue with older models. In such cases, replacement is often the best solution.
Choosing the Right Garage Door Opener:
Wondering which garage door opener suits you best? Let’s break it down:
Chain Driven Openers:
Chain drives are super reliable and run your garage door on a metal chain. They’re a tad cheaper than belt drives but can be a bit noisy. If peace and quiet are your thing, you might want to skip this one. We usually don’t recommend them due to the noise, but hey, everyone’s preferences are different!
.
Screw Driven Openers:
These use a threaded steel rod instead of a chain or belt. They’re slow and a bit noisy, but they’re also budget friendly. If noise or speed isn’t a deal-breaker for you, they could be worth considering. Check out our handy video to see the differences in action!
.
Belt Driven Openers:
Considered the cream of the crop, belt drives are top-notch. They’re as reliable as chain drives but whisper-quiet, thanks to their steel-reinforced belt. If your garage is connected to your home, you’ll love the peace and quiet these babies bring. Once you’ve experienced it, you won’t want to go back to the clatter of a chain or screw drive opener!
.
Jackshaft Openers:
Got high ceilings or want to free up some space? A jackshaft opener might be just what you need. It’s mounted on the side of your garage door, leaving your ceiling clear. Perfect for maximizing space and keeping things tidy.
