Steel doors may require less maintenance than a wood door. Most steel doors are pre-painted with a factory-applied baked-on coating. We recommend an annual cleaning of the exterior of the door with a common household detergent and warm water at least one time per year. Some wood doors are unfinished and need to be primed and painted or stained on all six sides of the door upon delivery. We recommend visual inspection of the paint or stain finish on wood doors one time per year to confirm if another finish application is necessary.

Each style of the "drive system" has its advantages. Chain drive and belt drive openers work well in all types of applications. Screw drive openers are better choices when you have a one-piece tilt open door, as they run slightly slower, and allow a smoother movement of the one-piece type of doors. Belt drive openers are the smoothest, most quiet openers we manufacture and have an excellent reliability record. They are recommended for use whenever noise and vibration are important considerations. If there is a living space above or near the garage, the belt drive openers will minimize the amount of noise generated by the opener. Chain drive openers have been in production for the longest amount of time, and offer dependable performance year in and year out. Regardless of which type of opener you choose, all of our drive systems are very reliable and require virtually no maintenance throughout the life of the opener.

This is rarely the possible or appropriate way to replace your opener. Due to changes in the design of the systems, and for warranty purposes, it is strongly recommended that all new components are used for the new opener. In addition, although it may seem to be an easier way to install a new opener, it may actually be more difficult to attempt to replace only the motorhead.
