Stop That Noise!

Most people assume that their garage door is SUPPOSED to be noisy, and there is no escape from the rattle of the chain on the opener or the rumble of the rollers moving along the track.

But it’s not true!

There are ways to reduce or eliminate the noises your garage door makes. Let’s talk about some practical tips and solutions to help you make your home a quieter place.

 

Your Opener

First, let’s take a quick look at your automatic opener. There are three main types: Chain, Screw, and Belt drive.

Chain-drive openers have traditionally been the most common type. They rely on a chain similar to a bicycle chain to operate the trolley. This particular style can be quite noisy. The majority of homes have this and assume that the rattle of the chain is needed to open the door.

Screw-drive openers are quite different from both Chain & Belt drives. The trolley rides on a threaded steel rod that rotates. This style requires heavy lubrication and is also known for excessive noise.

Belt Drive openers… this is where we get into the good stuff! Belt drive openers can be considered the Cadillac of openers. They use a belt as opposed to a chain to move the door, wihch eliminates the rattle of the chain and creates an ultra-quiet opener.

We offer the PDS 800. Our opener has an ultra-quiet DC Motor and comes with a limited lifetime warranty! You simply cannot beat it. Be sure to look at the video we’ve shared below to see why you’ll want it for your home.

Your Door

Your opener isn’t the only player in the quiet game. Your door may need a little TLC to help you achieve that ultra-quiet effect as well.

The first step is ensuring that your door is being lubricated. You wouldn’t drive your car for years without an oil change, so why do it to your garage door? Lubrication is really important for smoothly-operating parts!

The next step is looking at your rollers that help move your door up and down the track. Metal rollers will make noise; however, if you upgrade to the nylon rollers, here comes that quiet door you’ve been wanting all along!
