Garage Door Opener Parts List

Motor

. The motor is the heart of the garage door opener. It is responsible for lifting and lowering the door. Motors are typically powered by electricity, but there are also battery-powered motors available. The size and power of the motor will depend on the size and weight of the door it is lifting.

Drive system

. The drive system is what connects the motor to the door. There are two main types of drive systems: chain drives and belt drives. Chain drives are less expensive and more durable, but they can be noisy. Belt drives are more expensive and less durable, but they are quieter. The type of drive system that is best for you will depend on your budget and your needs.

Limit switches

. Limit switches are sensors that tell the garage door opener when the door is fully open or closed. This prevents the door from being damaged if it is opened or closed too far.

Safety sensors

. Safety sensors are sensors that detect people or objects in the path of the door. If a safety sensor is activated, the door will stop moving to prevent injury.

Remote control

. The remote control is used to open and close the garage door from a distance. The remote control sends a signal to the garage door opener, which then activates the motor and drive system to open or close the door.

Wall-mounted control panel

. The wall-mounted control panel is a wired control panel that is mounted on the wall of the garage. The control panel can be used to open and close the garage door manually, set timers, and adjust the settings of the garage door opener.

Battery backup system

. A battery backup system is a battery that is connected to the garage door opener. In the event of a power outage, the battery backup system will provide power to the garage door opener so that you can still open and close the door.
