Garage doors have started to exist ever since people started having cars and garages.

However, it is not a rule of thumb that one needs to possess a vehicle for them to have a garage. People often use garages as storage areas too, or as a man’s retreat for some quiet time for handy work or hobbies. Anyway, if there is a garage then there must be a garage door. The first garages all had manual doors but nowadays, things have changed quite a bit and machines do more and more for us so that our effort is less and less. Garage door openers are examples of such technologies that assist us in doing an otherwise heavy and unpleasant job: lifting a garage door to open it or pulling it shut manually.

Many brands of openers are found on the market and thus you can come across such names as Genie, Liftmaster, Chamberlain, Craftsman, amongst others. They all are good but they can vary slightly. You might not see any real difference but if unsure which is the best to work with your garage door, just give us a ring at Garage Door Openers University Place and we can advise you on your best bet. Other opener names you can come across that are also of good quality and reputation are Sears and Marantec.

Now openers assist people in opening and shutting garage doors but how do they work. There are three basic mechanism or drive types namely: screw drive, Belt Drive and Chain drive. The differences lie in the way each of them achieve the result and consequently, there is a notable difference in the price as well. Chain driven openers are noisy but give them that, they are cheap and they do work if you do not mind a racket. Belt driven openers are less noisy but cost more than chain driven ones. They work just as well and still cost less than the screw driven openers. Having said all that, new technologies are being developed, that are quieter and more effective. However, for now, you have the choice between those three types and depending on where your garage is situated on your premises and the frequency of use, we can advise you which one suits you best. We can also certainly install it for you and repair any faulty opener that you might have.
