Pros and Cons of Screw Drive Garage Door Openers
Genie Belt or Chain Garage Door Opener 4124 includes integrated smart device system. Battery backup. HomeLink and Car2U compatible.
Screw Drive Garage Door Opener is designed to use a screw rod to engage an opener trolley running between the opener and the garage door. When the trolley is engaged, the garage door is connected to the opener system. By rotating the screw rod clockwise or anti-clockwise, the opener motor pushes or pulls the trolley to close or open the garage door.
Screw Drive Pros
Simplicity Screw drive openers have the fewest moving parts.
Easy to maintain Screw drive openers tend to be easier to maintain. No need for further adjustment after initial professional installation.
Screw Drive Cons
Temperature Sensitive Metal material will contract when temperature drops. This situation would sometimes cause the door hard to open.
Noise Screw drive system usually makes loud noise since it relies on spinning a long metal screw attached to the motor and goes all the way to end of the rail. Therefore, we recommend applying lubricant agent regularly in order to reduce the noise and vibration.
Price Screw drive opener is generally a little more expensive than chain drive opener.
