Garage Door Opener - Frequently Asked Questions
Belt drive openers are generally considered better for several reasons:
- Quiet Operation: Belt drive openers are significantly quieter than chain drive openers. This makes them ideal for homes with attached garages or garages located near living spaces, as they minimise noise disturbances.
- Smooth Movement: Belt drives provide smoother operation, which reduces wear and tear on the garage door mechanism. The smooth motion also contributes to quieter performance.
- Cleaner Operation: Belt drives do not involve metal-on-metal contact, which can produce debris and require more maintenance. This leads to a cleaner and more reliable operation over time.
- Chains are greasy which attracts dust and grit.
- Durability and Strength: Modern belt drive openers are made from durable materials such as reinforced steel-infused rubber, which provides long-lasting performance. While they are slightly more expensive than chain drive openers, the additional cost is often justified by their longevity and quiet operation.
A garage door motor is expected to last approximately 7-15 years:
- Usage and Maintenance: The lifespan of a garage door motor depends largely on the frequency of use and the level of maintenance it receives. Regular maintenance, including lubrication and inspections, can significantly extend the life of the motor. The longevity of a garage door opener also depends on the condition of the door. A poorly maintained door with high tension will strain the garage door opener, reducing its lifespan. Regular maintenance of the door is essential to ensure the opener lasts as long as possible.
- Quality of the Opener: Higher-quality garage door openers, often found in belt drive models, tend to have longer lifespans. Investing in a reputable brand can result in fewer breakdowns and a longer operational life. It is good to choose an opener from a manufacturer that has a great customer service record.
Scheduling regular maintenance every 2-3 years helps to identify and address potential issues before they become major problems. During these maintenance checks, we will:
- Check the balance and spring tension to ensure the door opens and closes smoothly.
- Lubricate all moving parts to reduce friction and wear.
- Tighten hardware to prevent parts from becoming loose and causing damage.
Addressing issues at the first sign of trouble, such as unusual noises, slow movement, or misalignment, can prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your garage door system. By catching and fixing small problems early, you avoid more significant issues down the line.
Additionally, it's crucial to reset all settings and calibrate the system during maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
Failing to service your garage door regularly shortens the lifespan of your garage door motor. The motor has to work harder to compensate for any imbalances or increased friction, leading to quicker wear and potential breakdowns. Regular maintenance helps ensure that your motor runs efficiently and lasts longer.

Customer Reviews
Our garage door had come off the guides and was impossible to open. Eastern Garage Doors responded to my online request promptly and arranged a technician to attend. The technician, Darren, was terrific. Courtesy call ahead of attending; arrived punctually; expertly rectified the problem with the guides. Will use again for future servicing. Highly recommend,
Very happy with the service provided by Eastern Garage doors. They installed a new garage door opener for me. I had a positive experience from getting a quote until finishing the installation.
Steve arrived on time and did a fantastic job. He is an expert. He clearly explained everything. I would always go back to Eastern Garage doors for help. Would highly recommended them to everyone.
Extremely happy with Eastern Garage Doors. Everyone we dealt with have been very professional from our initial onsite quote, office staff and finally Cameron & Tom who installed our garage door.
We were kept up to date throughout the whole process and we strongly recommend their services to anyone wanting a professional job.
Great service from the Team at Eastern Garage Doors. They were all very courteous, efficient,prompt and with good advice re our garage roller door problem..
It was a hassle free experience to have a new door supplied and installed at a competitive price.
A pleasure dealing with this business which I can highly recommend.
The staff in Eastern Garage Doors are fantastic with excellent communication. My first call was answered by Carolyn, she was friendly and super helpful. She made the booking then texted me to confirm the time.
Steve came on the time, he is efficient, truly professional and expert. My garage was fixed quickly. I will definitely recommend this company to my family and friends.
Wow so impressed with Eastern Garage Doors! After having another company out previously that were no help I’d say look no further than these guys! From my first call to Carolyn it was fantastic. Great follow up to confirm they could do the job and Steve the Tradesman was FANTASTIC! He arrived on time and explained what needed to be done. Couldn’t recommend Steve highly enough. The whole process was very professional thank you!
I had an issue with my manually operated rear garage roller door coming out of it's guides and couldn't get it back in. I rang one highly rated garage door company in Bayswater twice but got zero replies back. I then rang Eastern Garage Doors who quoted me a fixed call out fee of $160 to fix the door issue and also a price to install a motor for that same door. Steve came out two days later, on time and he was brilliant. Retensioning the roller door so that it would go back into it's guides was a major effort and Steve's expertise was on full display. There was no way I could have done that. The installation of the motor was relatively simple. Great service, great price, great company... a rarity these days. I could not recommend Eastern Garage Doors highly enough and will definitely use them again if a problem arises.
100% satisfied
An old B&D 4 was dying by degrees and I got an excellent quote to supply and install a MERLIN unit from EGC.
Great price all up included, actually not a lot more than some selling just the hardware on eBay
Fantastic communications with Danielle and Georgie getting it all scheduled and installed. SO easy to deal with and so on the ball.
Darren came punctually and got it all installed.
He troubleshot the old one quickly just to see, but it was beyond all help. We both had a laugh about 30 years we got from it though.
He cleaned up spotlessly crushing the boxes neatly into our recycling bin.
Showed us how it worked, demonstrated the finer points.
Took the old one away to garage door opener graveyard.
Company vehicle spotless, Darren well presented, groomed and a safe careful worker.
