An opener for a garage door is a system that allows the user to open and close the garage door using a keypad or remote control, instead of a traditional key or handle. Keypads and openers are a convenient and secure way to access your garage, and they are commonly used on residential and commercial garage doors.
Keypads and openers are an essential part of many garage door systems, and they can provide added convenience and security for homeowners and businesses.
What are garage door openers?
Garage door openers are motorized devices that are used to open and close garage doors. We install many modern garage door openers that are equipped with the latest technology systems, which can provide a range of benefits and features.
One of the key advantages of having a garage door opener with the latest technology is that it can provide greater convenience and ease of use. For example, many modern openers are equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity, which allows the user to control the opener using a smartphone or other mobile device. This means that the user can open and close the garage door remotely through an app, without having to be near the garage.
Another benefit of having a garage door opener with the latest technology is that it can provide enhanced security. Many modern openers are equipped with security features, such as rolling code technology, which helps prevent unauthorized access to the garage. Some openers may also have features such as motion sensors or cameras, which can alert the user if there is any suspicious activity near the garage.
Additionally, having a garage door opener with the latest technology can provide improved performance and reliability. Many modern openers are equipped with advanced features such as silent drive technology, which helps reduce noise and vibration, and energy-efficient motors, which can save energy and reduce operating costs.
Here are the most common garage door opener options:
Chain Drive Openers: These are the most popular and commonly used type of garage door openers. They use a chain to pull or push the garage door along a rail. Chain drive openers are durable and relatively inexpensive, but they can be noisy.
​
Belt Drive Openers: Belt drive openers operate similarly to chain drive openers, but they use a belt made of rubber or fiberglass instead of a chain. This makes them quieter in operation compared to chain drives. Belt drive openers are a good choice for garages located near living spaces.
​
Screw Drive Openers: These openers use a threaded steel rod to move the garage door. They have fewer moving parts compared to chain and belt drives, making them low-maintenance. Screw drive openers are known for their smooth and quiet operation.
​
Direct Drive Openers: Direct drive openers have a stationary motor that moves along a stationary chain embedded in an overhead rail. This design eliminated the need for a separate belt, chain, or screw. Direct drive openers are known for their quiet operation and require minimal maintenance.
​
Jackshaft Openers: Jackshaft openers are mounted on the side of the garage door and use a motor to turn a threaded rod that moves the door. These openers are ideal for garages with limited ceiling space or where a traditional opener is not suitable. These are more quiet and allow for overhead storage space.
​
WiFi/Smartphone-Enabled Openers: We highly recommend this newest technology of garage door opener. WiFi connectivity allows you to control and monitor your garage door remotely using a smartphone app. These smart openers often provide additional features like notifications, scheduling, and integration with smart home systems. If you are getting amazon deliveries, this opener allows the delivery person to open the door and leave your package inside, preventing theft.
