Garage door openers are amongst the most common requests when it comes to garage door repairs in Wollongong, and that is why we specialise in not only the door, but how you can get the most out of your entire garage system! Here, we review different kinds of garage door openers, so you can find the best option for your home.

Common Garage Door Openers Australia

Standard and designer garage doors rely on motorised openers that use a trolley and switch system to raise and lower the door, which is usually controlled by a small radio remote or a keypad. Common types of garage door openers Australia include:

• Chain drive, featuring a chain connecting the trolley and motor. These are louder due to the metal-on-metal vibration, but less expensive.
  
• Belt drive, which uses a rubber belt instead of a chain for smoother motion and quiet operation.
  
• Screw drive, made with a threaded steel rod that supports trolley movement and motor rotation. With fewer parts, it’s easier to maintain.
  

Direct drive, which has a stationary chain and steel rail. It uses only one moving part, lasts longer, and is quieter than chain or screw-drive.

Best Openers for Designer Garage Doors

Overall, direct-drive and DC-powered garage door openers Australia come highly recommended due to their faster and quieter operation. These are the bestselling openers at Impact Garage Doors.
