I often come across consumers who request me, " How can I tell what is the best garage door opener for me to buy?"
The answer I usually give is, "It depends"!
"It depends"? Really? Well, thank you, Miss Garage Door Expert for such useful information! I could have gotten the same response had I questioned a hinged door knob!... Ok, ok. Allow me to explain and give you the detailed answer you really want.
If you were asked which is the best laundry detergent, or which is the best pasta sauce, you wouldn't even think twice about your response. There are plenty of items we purchase and use so often that it's easy for us to try new items and quickly determine what is best, what we like, and what we will continually use. Those decisions are based on your personal preferences. You've invested time in coming to that final bottom line based on your experiences. But now we're talking about garage door openers. What's the big deal? You press a button and it opens and closes the hinged door. Is there a real factor between them all besides the price? And these all factors are solved at Garage Doors Maidstone and Garage Doors Kent.
It's not often that we need to shop for a garage door opener. In fact, you probably are only going to do it once in your life. Maybe twice if you move to a new home. So how can you go about deciding what is best?
There are 3 variations of garage door openers so that you can consider, and each is meant for a different kind of style of living. A decision that can only be made by you based on your personal preferences. So let's get down to the brass tax:
1. Chain Drives - The most commonly used and typically the least expensive. Chain drives use a metal chain to run. Unfortunately, the industry off is a noisy motor. Should you have a detached garage or perhaps want to hear what time your children are coming home at night this might be a good option. But if you'd rather no noise, say because there are bedrooms above the garage, the chain drive is probably not for you.
2. Belt Drives - Hands down, today the best seller on the market. Belt drives are very dependable run nearly silent, thanks to their rubber belt! For those who have a connected garage or hate loud noise, this is completely the opener for you. Belt drives are more expensive than chain drives, but you'll know where the extra money went when you can enjoy the sweet sound of silence.
3. Screw Drives - These use a lifting device that runs along a threaded steel rod. Not recommended because they don't like drastic temperature adjustments. So if you live in a region with warm summers and cool winters, you should look at another option. Screw drives are usually moderately priced but noisy and gradual moving
So, are you a little restricted with the wallet? Do you squeeze a penny so tight you can hear the dead president scream? Do your friends call you El Cheapo? Properly, before you make this decision based on price and insist that you can deal with the noise of anything but a belt travel, I would highly recommend that you discover ways to hear the difference between your options. You will find a nearby showroom to check them out, but why go through the trouble.
