Garage Door Openers

What kind of garage door opener should I get?

Question by Scotland: What kind of garage door opener should I get?
I have a Genie high end screw-drive opener. One that goes up real quick. I’ve had nothing but problems with my door getting stuck and now two of my pannels bowed (I think because of the high force). Should I go with another screw drive? Regular chain drive? Anybody had problems with a fast moving opener tearing up their door?

Question by karlo: Garage door won’t open /close properly?
My garage door will not open or close with the remotes, or keypad opener. It will however open with one touch on the wall mounted button, but when I want to close it, I must hold down the button until it fully closes. Any ideas of what to check? Thanks!

On the garage door opener is a “learn” button you push. you then punch in a new code on the keypad. This will reset the pass code. the Learn button is located on the actual motorized unit mounted on the garage ceiling. My button is next to the area where the senser and garage push button wires terminate on the motorized unit. Also sometimes there are instructions on the flip cover of the keypad. Hope this helps
