GARAGE DOOR SPRING REPLACEMENT
Garage door springs are critical to the operation of your garage door. When operating properly the springs are what allows a 150 pound door to feel light as a feather when lifted manually. Garage door springs fall into two different categories and those are torsion springs or extension springs and each type helps counterbalance the weight of the door. Symptoms of a broken spring include loud noise(s) when the spring breaks, a large gap in the spring where it used to be a single continuous coil and if the door is being raised or lowered the door could crash to the ground or come off track which could also lead to the cables coming off of the pulley
If you’re looking for a new garage door opener, the number of choices out there can be overwhelming.
LiftMaster is one of the most obvious choices, and we’ve got a handful of models for you to explore here today. We’ve also got some general pointers to help make finding the best garage door opener for your needs easier.
First, you need to think about the type of garage door opener mechanism you want.
Garage Door Opener Types
Mechanisms fall into four broad categories:
Belt Drive: A belt drive is a garage door opener that has a rubber belt running on a cog. Because there are no metal parts involved, you’ll hear no loud banging. A belt drive is going to be the quietest option as long as your door doesn’t make much noise on its track.
Chain Drive: The most cost-effective option, a chain drive model is reliable but relatively noisy because the doors are lifted and lowered with a metal chain and sprocket.
Direct Drive: While a direct drive opener still has a metal chain, a garage motor accompanies this mechanism to move it along the track. Direct drive performance is impressive, and the warranties are lengthy, but the cost is much higher than a belt drive opener.
Screw Drive: Screw drive openers feature a long, threaded metal rod to raise and lower the doors. These openers make a reasonable amount of noise and require maintenance. They’re relatively quick and work best on single and steel doors.
