In 1921 Mr. C.G. Johnson brought the world the first overhead garage door. In 1926, he invented the first electric, automated garage door opener. An avid inventor, he founded the Overhead Door Corporation.
From energy efficient garage door openers to timed close features complete with a battery backup and smart phone apps to raise and lower the door, we’ve come a long way since 1921.

A radio transmitter, garage door opener operates at 315 MHz. The remote sends a signal to a radio receiver built into to the opener. When the opener hears the signal from the transmitter, your opener, it activates a relay that starts the motor running which in turn raises the door.
On average garage door openers last between 10 and 15 years. Of course keeping with maintenance will help increase the lifespan.

An opener allows you to easily enter your garage from the comfort of your car. When choosing the best opener for your particular circumstance, the door weight is a major factor in terms of the horsepower required (HP) to open or close your door.
A screw drive opener utilizes a motor that turns a screw that opens and closes the garage door. Screw driven openers are easier to maintain as they don’t have many moving parts.
Chain driven openers utilize a similar system as the screw drive. A sprocket is driven by a gear that moves the chain that opens and closes the door. A chain driven opener is very strong; however, it can be noisy.
Belt driven openers are pretty much the same as chain driven with the difference of course being driven by a belt. Belt garage door openers are by far the quietest in comparison to the screw or chain driven openers. They are however, slightly more expensive than chain driven.
