What is a garage door opener?

The garage door opener is a motorized device that opens and closes the garage door. The owner commands it with a handheld radio remote control from a short distance.

The most popular garage door openers on the market have convenience, safety and security features like: Wi-Fi connection, security light, manual release, auto-close, rail segments, and battery back-up.

There are several types of garage door openers and we can service them all:

Chain drive opener – cheaper, but at the same time noisier garage door openers. A metal chain drives the trolley elevating and lowering the door
Belt drive opener – it has quiet operation and low maintenance
Screw drive opener – a rotating threaded steel rod lifts and lowers the trolley. Ideal for properties with attached garage, this type of opener has quiet operation and low maintenance.
Direct drive opener – ideal option for any property. This opener type operates smoothly and quietly, with no belt, or chain.
