FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which type of opener?

Chain-drive is budget and powerful; belt-drive is quieter; smart openers with app control and cameras cost more. Direct-drive is the quietest but priciest.

Why replace the motor?

Motors last 10-15 years. If the door doesn't respond, makes noise or stalls, the motor is often the culprit.

How long does it take?

A standard install takes 2-4 hours including remote programming.
