Broken Torsion Springs

The torsion spring plays a pivotal role in lifting the door and aiding the garage opener in its heavy-duty task. For us, repairing these springs is routine. While it might not be as frequent for you—since springs typically break every 5-10 years, depending on your door’s usage—it’s an essential aspect of maintenance. Garage door springs are designed for about 10,000 cycles throughout their lifespan.

Garage Openers

Garage openers have become a household staple, offering the convenience of effortlessly opening your door without manual effort. Elevate your home experience with the efficiency of a “smart garage opener.” At our store, we offer a range of LiftMaster garage openers for purchase and installation. Additionally, if you’ve purchased an opener elsewhere, we’re here to assist with professional installation.

Types of Garage Openers We Sell

Chain Driven Openers

Discover the durability and reliability of chain-driven openers. They’re built to last and stand the test of time. Meticulously designed to provide unparalleled lifting power and unwavering reliability, chain driven openers are true workhorses, ensuring a seamless and dependable operation every time you use one.

Belt-Driven Openers

Belt drive openers offer a comparable mechanism to chain drives, with a notable distinction. Thanks to the reinforced rubber and fiberglass composition, these openers use a belt and boast a commendable lifespan. This innovation yields a quieter performance, although it may not match the sheer durability of chain drives. A remarkable highlight is the LiftMaster 87504 model, which includes a lifetime warranty for both the belt and motor – a testament to its enduring quality.

Jackshaft Openers

Revolutionize your garage door experience with jackshaft openers, designed to optimize headroom space by mounting on the side of the door and operating directly from the torsion tube. Experience the pinnacle of convenience and efficiency as these openers are not only among the quietest and fastest, but also offer advanced “smart” capabilities. With fewer moving parts, you can enjoy the benefits of virtually maintenance-free operation, making your garage door management hassle-free and seamless.

What opener is best for you?

When selecting a garage opener for your home, several key factors come into play: price, security features, ease of use, and noise level. If you prioritize a solid performance and noise isn’t a concern, a chain-driven opener presents an excellent, budget-friendly choice. For those with living spaces near or above the garage, the quiet operation of a DC belt-driven opener is ideal, despite the slightly higher cost compared to AC chain-driven options – the tranquility it offers is well worth the investment. And for optimal value, jackshaft openers shine: quiet, swift, and remarkably efficient, they also create additional headroom by mounting on the side of the garage door, freeing up your ceiling space for storage or organization racks.

My garage opener is not working, how can I fix it myself?
If your garage opener is not working first make sure the plug is in the socket nice and tight. If your wall button’s light is on but won’t work when pressed, it may require a new logic board. Here are some videos covering common problems that can be fixed yourself: If you need any more assistance don't hesitate to call me at (210)-331-6717. - Jeffrey Walther

Why doesn’t my garage door go all the way down?
If your garage door starts to close but then reverses, there's a straightforward solution to address this issue. Begin by inspecting the safety sensors located near the ground on each side of the door. If these sensors are misaligned, the garage door won't complete its closing cycle. To ensure proper alignment, verify that both sensors display a steady light. One sensor should emit a solid red/orange light, while the other should emit a solid green light. If either light is blinking, simply adjust the sensors until the light remains stable, and then try closing the door again.

What is the main difference between AC and DC openers?

Both AC and DC garage door openers have their advantages and disadvantages. DC openers are generally favored for their quieter and smoother operation, energy efficiency, and advanced features. However, the choice between the two depends on your specific needs, budget, and preferences. It's recommended to consider factors like noise level, power source, backup systems, and available features when selecting the right garage door opener for your home. Below are some key features and the differences between motor types.

1. Power Source:

AC Openers: These openers operate on alternating current from the electrical grid. They are typically wired directly into your home's electrical system.

DC Openers: These openers use direct current and can be powered by a standard electrical outlet or a battery backup system. Some models have the flexibility to switch between AC and DC power sources.

2. Noise Level:

AC Openers: AC openers tend to be louder compared to DC openers, producing more noise during operation.

DC Openers: DC openers are known for their quieter operation due to the smoother transitions of the direct current.

3. Speed and Smoothness:

AC Openers: AC openers may have more abrupt starts and stops, leading to a slightly less smooth operation.

DC Openers: DC openers offer smoother starts and stops, which can extend the lifespan of the garage door components and provide a gentler operation.

4. Control and Features:

AC Openers: AC openers are often basic and straightforward, offering standard features without advanced technology.

DC Openers: DC openers offer more advanced control options, such as variable speed settings, soft start and stop features, and compatibility with smart home technology.

5. Energy Efficiency:

AC Openers: AC openers can be less energy-efficient due to the constant use of alternating current from the grid.

DC Openers: DC openers are more energy-efficient since they convert AC power to DC power, which results in less energy consumption.

6. Battery Backup:

AC Openers: AC openers typically do not have built-in battery backup systems. They rely solely on the electrical grid.

DC Openers: DC openers can have built-in battery backup systems that allow the opener to function during power outages. This is a significant advantage for areas prone to power disruptions.

7. Maintenance:

AC Openers: AC openers may require more maintenance due to their more mechanical nature.

DC Openers: DC openers often require less maintenance due to their smoother operation and fewer moving parts.
