There are a variety of residential
garage door openers with various features and benefits--sometimes it can
be confusing...
Openers differ by:
• Power Rating:
• 1/3 for most doors.
• 1/2 horsepower for larger or heavier doors
• Drive Mechanism:
• Belt drive is quietest
• Chain and screw drives are more durable but may require more maintenance.
• Motor Type
• AC is most popular
• DC motors offer softer starting/stopping
If you have
a garage door that:
• Is adjacent to a bedroom you may
want an operator with quiet operation. Consider a belt drive operator
or an operator with a vibration isolation system (VIS) or both.
• Is opened frequently, you may want to consider a opener with chain
operation.
• Gets excessive wear and tear due to sudden starts and stops, consider
an opener with soft start and stop features available with DC motors.
• Want safety and convenience of automatic lighting, consider an
opener that includes a motion detector in the wall button.
• Have multiple doors on your garage, you should consider an opener
with three-button transmitters to allow separate opening/closing of the
doors.
• Have an extended height door, be sure to get a rail that fits
your door height. Residential rails come in lengths for 7, 8 and 10 ft
high doors. Door higher than 10 feet may require a commercial operator.
All operators
offer as standard or optional features:
• Keypads (for operation when you
don’t have your transmitter)
• Extra transmitters (for other family members)
• Open door monitors (to monitor the garage door from different
parts of your house)
• Lockout (prevents operation during vacation)
• Worklights (to turn on the light without opening the garage door)
