Your garage door is supposed to provide an easy and convenient way for you to enter your home after a long day. If you’re still opening and closing your garage door by hand, you’re not taking advantage of all of the benefits your door has to offer. A garage door opener can make your door safer and more convenient.
Garage door openers are just one of our specialties at Garage Door and More. You can count on us for installations and repairs to ensure that your system is operating as smoothly as possible.
In addition to convenience, installing a garage door opener can have a variety of benefits. A few of the advantages include:
You’ve probably seen a garage door opener in action. Understanding how these systems work can be helpful when you need repairs. Many parts go into a fully functional garage door opener. That’s why it’s so important to keep up with repairs and maintenance for your system.
The garage door opener does not provide the actual lifting power to open a heavy garage door. Instead, the lifting power comes from the springs. These springs are under tension to generate torque to lift the garage door using metal cables. The garage door opener also controls how far the door opens and closes. In most cases, the garage door opener also acts like a lock when the door is closed.
The garage door opener uses a power unit that contains an electric motor. The motor uses a gear to drive a chain, belt or screw mechanism. These have a trolley connected to an arm that attaches to the garage door. The trolley is pulled along the track by a chain, belt, or screw. A quick-release mechanism is attached to the trolley to allow the garage door to be disconnected from the opener for manual operation during a power failure, or in case of emergency.
