For The Right Type of Garage Door Opener

clickerdepot — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 22:30:05 +0000

Every appliance you wish to buy seems to have a hundred clones and just as many brands selling them! To say that you are spoilt for choice is an understatement. When looking for a garage door opener, there are many options that you can choose from Clicker Depot gives you these options at the most attractive rates available under one roof. While Clicker Depot shows you what your money can buy, you first need to determine exactly what you want when purchasing a garage door opener.

Various Drives

There are three different types of garage door openers that you can buy. While every garage door opener does the job completely and very efficiently, there are a few salient differences particularly in the type of mechanism that they put to use.

Inexpensive Options

The oldest type of garage door opener is the chain drive opener. They might be the oldest type around but they are by no means obscure. Chain drive openers are still the most popular and inexpensive of garage door openers. They operate with metal chain mechanisms. The downside of this is that they do tend to be noisy as compared to the other options available. If your garage is under your bedroom or study, chances are you would not like the sound bothering you. On the other hand, it is a simple way to let you know every time someone opens the garage door and comes in. If you would rather have a quieter mechanism then perhaps you could pick one of the more expensive options.

Meeting Halfway

A slightly more expensive garage door opener is the screw drive opener. In essence, the noise made in the chain drive opener comes from the multitude of movable parts that rub against each other to form that metallic chink. A screw drive opener has very few of these movable parts. This type of garage door opener is ideal for a little do-it-yourself kind of project as it is relatively simple to fix and operate. While the prices are quite affordable, these openers are also very simple to take care of and require little or no maintenance. Visit www.clickerdepot.com to find a large array of this garage door opener at great rates.

Best Of The Lot

The least noisy, most discrete and expensive of the garage door opener types is the belt drive opener. This kind of opener has no movable metallic parts and is the quietest when it opens. This is because it runs on a rubber belt mechanism that simply slides up smoothly. They generally cost a little more than the other two but if discretion and less noise is the goal, the belt drive opener is the choice for you.

Clicker Depot showcases all these different drive type options as well as AC/DC requirements and will help you pick a garage door opener compatible with your old remote. When in doubt, give them a call and you can get help zeroing in on the right garage door opener for you.

Garage Door Remote History and Choices

Security and safety of your home and the people who live in it is always are the forefront of your mind. While alarm systems and electronic security are frequently looked into, another important aspect of security systems is the garage door remote. The garage door remote helps to activate the garage door opener from a distance of about 5-7 car lengths. This way you do not need to get out of your car at all. Simply by clicking a button, you can lift the garage door and slide your car right in.

Innovation of the Remote

Historically it looks like one of the first garage door remotes were the result of the innovation of remote controlled detonators of bombs in the World War II. A garage door remote generally has one button and is known as a single door remote. Every button will control one garage door so you will need a garage door remote with multiple buttons if you have more than one garage door.

Change of Codes

In the past, a garage door remote has been used to gain access into a house with malicious intent. This was possible because the remotes had a single code system. When a garage door remote has a single code that helps it commune with a garage door opener, it is susceptible to thieves and robbers. This code data can be intercepted from afar and as the code remains the same, it can be used by someone else at a later date. In order to safeguard and protect homeowners against this eventuality, a rolling code system is now in use. This system changes the code after each use and transmits the code to the receiver per change.

Is It Really Universal?

You will see many advertisements of garage door remotes that are proclaimed to be universal in their use. The truth of the matter is that no one remote can universally access all garage doors. The codes used by different brands differ and while a garage door remote may work for multiple codes instead of just one, before buying one you need to make sure that it works for yours. If a universal remote does not work for you, then you will have to look at buying a garage door remote from the same manufacturer as your door opener.
