Overhead Door Opener FAQs
What's the difference between chain, belt, and screw drive openers?
Chain drives are affordable and reliable but noisier. Belt drives are quiet, ideal for attached garages. Screw drives require less maintenance. We'll recommend based on your priorities.
How powerful should my overhead door opener be?
Power is measured in Newtons (N). Single doors typically need 700-1000N, double doors 1200N+. Insulated or heavy doors may need more. We'll assess your door and recommend appropriately.
Can I install an opener on my existing overhead door?
Yes, most overhead doors can be automated. The door should be balanced and in good condition. If springs are worn, we recommend replacing them first for optimal opener performance.
Why is my overhead door opener running but the door not moving?
This often indicates a stripped gear, broken chain/belt, or the door has become disconnected from the opener trolley. These are common repairs we handle frequently.
Do overhead door openers work during power outages?
Standard openers won't operate without power, though you can use manual release. Battery backup models from Superlift and Merlin continue working during outages – recommended for sole-access garages.
