Garage Opener Replacement

Affordable Garage Opener Replacement

Over the years, garage openers have changed and improved. Although they vary in quality, there have been some improvements in garage door opener technology. For example there have been improvements in the garage door motors, and drive mechanisms. There have also been improvements in the garage opener remotes and wireless technology. Around 2004, almost all all garage openers vendors in the United States were switched over to selling garage openers with rolling code digital on board controllers. Prior to that, many garage openers on the market had frequency based technology that was easy for the bad guys to thwart (be able to open your garage door with a device that simulated your garage opener remote.) The garage openers that have this new "rolling code" technology are much harder to bypass (more information on --> garage door security.) Even with these improvements in technology, there is still a wide variety of quality with different garage opener manufacurers.

The garage door opener is made of many components, and many people really don't stop to think about their garage door opener, but it is actually the the largest and most heavy machinery in a home. The garage door opener comprises the motor, motor enclosure with controller, hinges, tracks, springs, rollers, and other pieces of interconnecting hardware that all work together as moving parts to open and close the garage door day after day, month after month and year after year. Like any machine, it is recommended that these garage opener parts get regular maintenance, but most often they do not. Over time the garage door opener parts get worn from lack of lubrication and/or adjustment. Eventually the garage opener parts will weaken and eventually crack and break.
