There are three main types of garage door openers:
Belt Drive
Belt drive garage door openers offer ultra-quiet, long lasting performance.
The fiber-reinforced belt eliminates noise associated with chain
and screw drive openers. The direct current (dc) motor operates
smoothly and quietly. This unit slows down for starts and stops.
The security codes for the controllers automatically change each
time the system is activated and never repeats. This prevents would-be
intruders from gaining access to your code. The belt drive is considered
to be the best opener available. Screw Drive
This type of garage door opener uses a lifting mechanism that moves
along a threaded steel rod. They are powerful units and because
they have few moving parts, they require the least maintenance.
This is generally the slowest moving of the three types of openers
and is not as quiet as the belt drive units. However, the latest
screw drive models feature a plastic lined track which increases
opening speed while reducing the noise level associated with metal
to metal contact. Screw Drive openers are not advisable in cold
winter climates. Chain Drive
Chain drive garage door openers use a metal chain to guide the
door up and down along its tracks. Chain drive systems are the
most common and usually the least expensive. They are the noisiest
of the three types of openers because they use a metal chain along
a metal trolley in order to guide your garage door. |
