DIY Tips for Common Garage Door Opener Repairs
While professional maintenance is crucial, some issues can be addressed with simple DIY tips. Check and lubricate your chain or belt annually, ensuring it’s tightened appropriately. Additionally, inspect and tighten lag bolts to prevent loosening due to vibrations. However, for comprehensive maintenance, an annual professional appointment is recommended.
Types of Garage Door Openers
There are 3 types of garage door openers: screw-driven, chain-driven, and belt-driven. When it comes to choosing openers, we recommend avoiding screw-driven options due to their high maintenance requirements. Most homeowners prefer quiet operation and make the choice to go with belt drive openers. Our wide range of expertise extends to repairing any make and model of opener, ensuring your convenience.
