Grinding garage door? It might be time for a new garage door opener.

Is your garage door giving you grief? Answer the questions below to see if your garage door is below par:

Coming home late at night after dinner with friends, you find yourself parking on the street, worried the sounds of your squealing garage door will set off your dog (and alert the entire street of your presence).
Running late for work, your stomach tightens as you press the remote control, hoping the door will open enough to allow you to drive out (unlike yesterday…and last week).
Weekend DIY sees you leaving your garage door open (and your tools at risk) – you’ll do anything to avoid the screaming metal earning you another dirty look from your neighbour.

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, your garage door is not functioning as it should. But there’s no need to panic – a fix could be as simple as installing a new garage door opener, and you can even do it yourself!

Don’t blame the door

If you’ve started to notice some grinding, squealing or scraping noises when opening and closing your garage door, it’s easy to blame the door itself. However, the noise could be linked to the garage door opener.

Before you cancel your next holiday to pay for a new garage door, take a closer look. Check that your door is generally in good working condition – this means no worn rollers, loose screws, large dents in the metal, or undue rust.

If the door itself is still in good shape, then your garage door opener might be in need of an overhaul.

The quiet choice

Chamberlain’s range of garage door openers have been designed with smooth, peaceful operation in mind. Featuring Soft Start and Stop technology, the DC motor and belt drive offer ultra-quiet and powerful, long-lasting operation.

Our automatic openers are built to the highest quality standards, promising longevity and durability. With Chamberlain, you can rest assured your opener will continue to function with ease, backed by our five-year warranty.

Currently opening your garage door manually? You can upgrade to a Chamberlain automatic opener – without breaking the bank. Available for all brands of roller and sectional doors, and with options for both single and double car space garages, we’ll get your garage door moving seamlessly again.

Taking access to the next level

If you’re looking to improve the quality of your access, Chamberlain also offers a range of accessories that provide additional security, safety and convenience for you and your family.

All of our openers include remotes with multi-frequency security, meaning you – and only you – choose who can access your garage and home. Chamberlain also has a number of remote options available, including car visor and multi door controls, and a wireless keypad.

For busy families, we’ve created the myQ Connectivity Kit, which includes the myQ Gateway and the Protector System. This kit allows you to open, close and monitor your garage door using your smart device, no matter where you are, while the Safety Beams guard against accidental injury and damage.
