Garage Door Opener Installation
Garage door openers are an important part of your garage doors operations being the actual mechanism that safely opens, closes, and secures your door in the desired position. Openers are not meant to lift the weight of the door completely, that job belongs mostly to the springs, rather it is more so a guiding hand to operate the door safely. All openers include safety sensors as well as built in reverse mechanisms designed to avoid injury, entrapment, or damage due to obstructions. Other basic things included are (1) wall station, (1) visor remote, as well as some iteration of WiFi or bluetooth connection for users to create custom controls. Proper installation and maintenance plans both play a large role in your openers function as well as getting the most life from any garage door opener.

FAQs
-
Overall chain and belt drive garage door openers are very similar in function and accessories. When it comes to the overall life chain drives typically last longer especially when it comes to garage doors that see increased use. On the other hand belt drive openers are more silent and have a similar life span in general use operation. Even with heavier or frequently used openers belt drives can be used if noise or other features are also wanted.

Generally garage door openers life is 8-10 years. Properly maintaining your garage door with semi-annul or annul service can help in getting the most of your garage door opener. Maintenance can assist by not allowing broken or unbalanced parts from adding unexpected strain on the opener.

If your garage door opener will not close the first thing to check is the safety sensors, (for LiftMaster) one should be amber and the other should be green, if the green light is off or flashing the sensors cannot see each other. Other issues such as binding or broken springs could be a door repair instead of an opener issue, thus needing repair before being able to diagnose the opener’s condition.
