Opener Repair
Many times it is much easier and cheaper to quickly repair your garage door opener rather than replace the entire unit. At Precision Door, we service just about all major brands of garage door openers, including Genie, Liftmaster, and Chamberlain as well as all drive types.
- Belt Drive Openers Uses a fiberglass, polyurethane, or steel-reinforced rubber belt to guide the trolley, opening or closing the door. They are very reliable and incredibly quiet. An ideal choice for attached garages where noise is an issue.
- Chain Drive Openers The most common garage door opener and operate similar to belt drives but with a chain pushing or pulling the trolley. The metal to metal function can cause these drives to be a bit more noisy than their belt driven cousins, but they do tend to be more affordable.
- Screw Drive Openers Said to be the most maintenance free opener as they have less moving pieces. The motor rotates a threaded steel rod which move the trolley allowing for quick and reliable function. In the past these openers were considered the loudest choice, but recent innovations have improved this.
- Jackshaft Openers An ideal choice when overhead clearance or high ceilings are an issue, as mount on the wall next to your door as opposed to above it. They run quiet and are very durable but do tend to be more expensive than other types of drives.
- Direct Drive Openers Moves the door up and down using only the motor. The motor itself moves along a stationary chain opening and closing the door. With only one moving part these openers are the most quiet choice and very dependable.
There are however a few circumstances that we will either highly recommend replacement or where we cannot repair the opener due to safety standards. These include:
- Openers made before 1993
- Openers that do not have photo electric eyes
- Openers that have been recalled
- Openers that have been discontinued where parts are not available
