Repair or replace
Chain, belt or wall-mount opener?
Belt drive suits most homes because it’s quiet. Chain drive is the budget choice for detached garages. Wall-mount suits high ceilings and low headroom.
- Bedroom or living space over the garage Belt drive
- Detached garage, budget matters most Chain drive
- High ceiling, storage overhead or low headroom Wall-mount (jackshaft)
- Heavy wood or oversized door Higher-horsepower belt or wall-mount
Prevention
How to make a new opener last
- Keep the door balanced. Monthly balance test. A heavy door shortens opener life.
- Clean the sensors. Wipe both lenses after dust storms.
- Test auto-reverse monthly. Close the door on a 2x4 laid flat. It should reverse.
- Yearly tune-up. Force, limits and hardware checked.
