What you should know about residential garage door openers

If your garage door comes with a garage door opener, it's either belt-driven (with a belt made of rubber reinforced with metallic threads) or chain-driven (with a chain similar to that of a bicycle).

Both of these types of garage door openers work very well. However, the chain-driven type requires a little more maintenance, as the chain must be lubricated at least twice a year. At SGM Doors Ltd, we have chosen to use LiftMaster brand garage door openers because of their reliability and excellent performance. If, over the course of the years, you encounter a minor problem with your garage door opener, it will most likely be due to a misalignment or obstruction in the photoelectric switching system or worn batteries in the garage door remote. Rest assured that these problems are easy for our expert technicians to fix. As we are very experienced in garage door repair services.

One of the most important features of a garage door opener is the automatic reversal system when the door is closing. If the door opener detects a person or object moving across the path of the door, the two safety mechanisms must work at all times. The first one is mechanical: an object hits the bottom of the door, so the door must reverse automatically. The second one is photoelectric. A person passes in front of the beam and then, once again, the door has to go back up. These two backup mechanisms must be checked at least twice during the year. Don’t just go by the fact that you have a door opener to open and close your door. Know that a door opener can easily lift 100 kg (225 lb), but will also hold back 100 kg when it comes down.

Another example is that if there’s a power failure and your garage door opener isn’t equipped with a backup battery, you’ll have to go inside your garage and activate the emergency release mechanism (the red cord) in order to open and close your door. That’s why this mechanism must always be in good repair so it will work correctly when you need it, saving you a lot of trouble in the event of an emergency.
