There are many factors to be considered when selecting garage doors. Pittsburgh, PA residents rely on the locally owned, full-service company, Precision Garage Doors, for all of their garage door repair and replacement needs. Our doors have been open since 2000 and our motto is that 'We fix garage doors right!'.
Chain Driven Openers- Chain drives are typically the most commonly used and most reliable type of opener. This drive runs the garage door on its track by using a metal chain. Chain drives are typically the least expensive type of opener. They also tend to be the noisiest type of opener so if your garage is located below or adjacent to the main rooms in your home you might not want this opener. However if your garage is detached or the noise does not bother you this is the best choice for you and your family.
Belt Driven Openers- Belt drives are regarded in the garage door industry as the best type of opener. Not only are belt drives as reliable as chain drives but they are also virtually silent. This drive runs on a rubber belt and is typically more expensive than chain drive openers. If your garage is attached to your home and has surrounding bedrooms you'll never be bothered by the noise of your garage door.
Screw Driven Openers- Screw drive openers use a lifting device that runs on a threaded steel rod rather than a chain or a rubber belt. These openers tend to work best in locations where the weather and temperature is constant throughout the year. In areas with a wide range of temperature throughout the year a screw drive opener is not recommended. They also are the slowest moving and noisiest of all three openers but are the least expensive.
