If you’re tired of manually opening and closing your garage door, especially during the cold winter months when you really don’t want to get out of your nice, warm vehicle, Hall’s Overhead Doors of Bolton suggests installing a garage door opener that allows you to open the door by simply pushing a button on a remote.
Having a garage door opener installed by a professional is a good idea, as there are complex mechanics involved. Most garage door openers are powered by a small motor that is attached to the ceiling of your garage and opens and closes the door along a track. Most automatic openers also have a sensor that can detect if someone or something is blocking the door. This is a built-in safety feature that prevents people from being hurt or property from being damaged.
There are different types of garage door openers, and the professionals at Hall’s Overhead Doors can help you select the right one for your needs. A chain drive opener is the least expensive model, but it’s also the noisiest. However, they are very durable and are the most common choice.
A belt drive opener is quieter due to the use of rubber belts. They cost more than a chain drive opener, but are a good option if there is living space above the garage, as they limit vibrations.
Screw drive openers are ideal for excessive temperature changes, and jackshaft openers are a good option for garages with high ceilings because they’re installed on the side wall of the garage rather than on the ceiling.
Hall’s Overhead Doors is located at 427 Kingsview Drive in Bolton. For more information about garage door opener installations, call 905-951-1462 or toll-free at 1-866-442-4463.
