Why choose chain drive to run your remote opener system?

 

If you are a homeowner looking to upgrade or repair your existing garage door, you may wish to also consider switching out to a new garage door opener system. With two viable standard options for the main muscle of each, you can go with a belt drive or the typical workhorse chain drive. 

 

The best link to a chain opener.

Incredibly affordable and available everywhere, this is the number one common residential choice. The chain drive assembly is manufactured to spec fit for every size and weight of the garage door. All components of your garage door opener system should never be swapped for use with anything other than what make and model of the door it is custom fit for. 

 

The metal chain resembles a chain saw and runs with connective linkage to the tension springs that flex and piston up and down to raise or lower your garage door safely and evenly and with the correct counterbalance speed. 

 

Dependable and durable, with proper routine maintenance, chain drives can last for an extended period of time. Let's consider that the general rule of thumb is a 12 to 15-year life for any residential garage door opener system. 

 

Suppose you have to replace a chain or associated hardware within that time frame. In that case, your cost will be more efficient than that of a belt drive, and here in the greater Boston region, a chain drive assembly is built to actually withstand a wide variant of weather-related events. 

 

While garage door services banter back and forth about the better option between chain or belt drive, the deciding vote comes from you, the consumer, and what your budget and personal preferences are. 

 

If, for example, your garage is attached to your home and abutted to a bedroom or nursery, you may not want the slight rattle and vibration that normally accompanies even the highest quality of chain drive garage door opener assemblies. 

 

The new edge of technology can also be fitted to the chain drive as long as the one you have is adjustable. Now even the standard opener can be operated by WIFI command, smart app interfacing, and wireless voice-activated command where applicable to your internet connectivity and outdoor signal range. 

 

Time for your garage door opener chain drive tune-up.

Hot weather, rain, and bone-chilling snowy winters won't hamper the function of a chain drive as long as you keep it well maintained and tuned up. Our highly trained techs suggest an on-site twice-annual inspection, cleaning, and adjusting appointment. Not only will this extend the life of your garage door and entire remote package, but it will also ensure your property, vehicle, and personal safety as well. 

 

Household insurance companies and manufacturers' warranty agents will be more positively receptive to any claim you may need to file. If you wish to sell or rent your property, one major boon to getting attractive offers is a well-maintained garage remote system.
