Garage Door Openers
The Garage Door Opener can be one of three types-chain drive, belt drive or screw drive. Many people are going with the belt drive today, because of it’s smooth and quiet operation. But the chain and screw drive systems are also very popular because it’s most affordable.
Recently another type of Operator, known as JackShaft Residential System, has become very popular.
This Opener consists of a motor that attaches to the side of the torsion rod and moves the Garage Door Up and Down by spinning the rod. This automatic device has an advantage that it is free up ceiling space that an ordinary opener and rail would occupy.
The most popular and reliable brand of Garage Door Openers is LiftMaster® garage door openers. LiftMaster® continue to design products that make home access easier and put you in control of how you come and go.
