Your garage door is the largest entryway into your home, and you likely use it every day. An automatic entry system allows convenient, safe, and easy access to your home. Cascade Garage Door Pro offers our own line of garage door openers, along with top manufacturers such as Chamberlain, Genie, and LiftMaster. Our trained technicians can install all models of garage door openers and remotes, or repair your opener if it is malfunctioning.
Types of Garage Door Openers
There are four main types of garage door openers. Cascade Garage Door Pro can help you choose the right type for your door and lifestyle.
- Chain Drive Openers – Chain drive garage door openers use a metal chain to power the opening and closing of your garage door. Chain drive openers are reliable and economical, but may not be as quite as other types of openers.
- Belt Drive Openers– Belt drive garage door openers are extremely quiet and offer reliable, long-lasting performance at a slightly higher cost.
- Screw Drive Openers – Screw drive garage door openers use a lifting mechanism that moves along a threaded steel rod. They are powerful units that provide years of reliable service. Screw drive systems work especially well with one-piece doors.
- Jackshaft Openers – Jackshaft garage door openers are specially designed for spaces where a traditional garage door opener won’t fit, such as garages with very low, cathedral, or obstructed ceilings. Jackshaft systems also allow for more overhead storage space.
If you are experiencing problems with your garage door opener or remote, Cascade Garage Door Pro offers repair services from our qualified repairmen. We offer same day service and 24/7 emergency repair services. In some cases, our technicians may recommend replacement of your garage door opener.
In general, you should replace your garage door opener if:
- Your opener is more than 15 years old
- There are safety concerns with a specific brand or the manufacturer has been sued for safety defects
- There are no photo electric safety eyes present on your system
- The brand no longer exists and parts are unavailable
