What horsepower opener do I need to lift my door?Before installing a garage door opener, you should ensure that the door operates easily manually. The rule of thumb is that if you take the door off of the operator, open it to waist level, and it stays in place without moving either up or down, then the door is well-balanced. If the door is hard to lift, you should have Access Garage Door check the springs and other hardware on the door before installing an opener. Generally speaking, if you have a two-car garage door, you can use either a 1/2 horsepower opener or for heavy wood doors, LiftMaster now offers powerful 3/4 horsepower garage door openers. Remember that the easier it is to open the door manually, the easier it will be for the garage door opener to open the door and that means the longer your garage door opener will last.
Which model is better, the chain drive, the belt drive or the screw drive?
Each garage door opener has its advantages. The chain drive and belt drive are good in all applications, and the screw drive is best used on one-piece doors that tilt rather than go up on a track. The screw drive runs a little slower than the other two garage door openers.
The belt drive is the quietest garage door opener and is the drive we recommended for all garages. All of LiftMaster's garage door openers are very reliable and require virtually no maintenance.
What is the difference between AC and DC Motors?
AC Motors are less expensive and easy to manufacture. Speed is constant and hard to control efficiently. DC Motors are more expensive as they are more complex to manufacture. Also, additional components are required to make them work with the standard AC current found in homes. Speed can be controlled more easily with a DC motor and more accurately. They have a quick response to control signals.
