Premium brandRepair vs Replace: How to Decide
Repair Makes Sense When:
- Opener is under 10 years old
- Motor is still functional
- Problem is a single component (board, gear, sensor)
- Repair cost is under 50% of a new unit
- You have a compatible remote ecosystem
Replace Makes Sense When:
- Opener is 12+ years old
- Motor is failing or seized
- Multiple components have failed
- No auto-reverse safety feature
- You want smart home / myQ integration

Types of Garage Door Openers
When replacing your opener, the drive type matters for noise, speed, and maintenance. Here is what each type offers.
Belt Drive
The quietest option — rubber belt runs on a rail above the door. Ideal for attached garages with living space above. Our most-installed type.
Most popularChain Drive
Reliable and affordable — metal chain pulls the trolley. Louder than belt-drive but extremely durable. Good for detached garages.
Screw Drive
Threaded steel rod moves the trolley with minimal parts. Less maintenance than chain-drive but can be noisy in cold Canadian winters.
Jackshaft / Wall-Mount
Mounts beside the door on the wall — no ceiling rail required. Ideal for high-ceiling garages, limited headroom, or storage above the door.
Space saverDC Belt Drive
Battery-backup built in — works during power outages. Runs whisper-quiet on a DC motor with soft start and stop. Growing in popularity.
Backup powerSmart / myQ
Control and monitor your door from anywhere via the myQ app. Integrates with Amazon Key, Google Home, and most smart home platforms.
App controlSmart Opener Upgrades: myQ & Aladdin Connect
Smart garage door openers let you open, close, and monitor your door from anywhere in the world using a smartphone app. If you forget to close the door when leaving for work, you can do it from your phone.
LiftMaster myQ
Built into all new LiftMaster 8500W, 84505R, and Elite series openers. The myQ app (free) monitors status, sends open/close alerts, and integrates with Amazon Key for keyless in-garage delivery.
Chamberlain myQ
Same myQ platform as LiftMaster — Chamberlain units are sold through retail channels while LiftMaster is sold through dealers like Royal Garage Doors. Same features, same app.
Genie Aladdin Connect
Genie's Wi-Fi add-on kit works with most Genie openers made after 1993. Adds smartphone control without replacing the whole opener — starting at $120 installed.

Why Royal Garage Doors
Unmatched quality, unbeatable service — backed by specifics, not slogans.
Opener repair typically costs $120–$250 depending on the problem. A simple sensor realignment or remote reprogramming is $120–$180, and a drive gear replacement runs $180–$240. If the logic board or motor has failed, a new LiftMaster belt-drive opener (from $450 installed) is usually more economical than repair.
A humming opener that does not move is usually caused by a broken drive gear (the plastic gear that connects the motor to the drive system), a disconnected trolley, or a seized motor capacitor. In most cases the drive gear can be replaced for $180–$280 — a full replacement is rarely needed.
Yes. We service and repair all major brands: LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, Marantec, Ryobi, and Overhead Door. We stock common boards, gears, and remotes for LiftMaster and Chamberlain units on every truck.
If your opener is under 10 years old and the motor is intact, repair is usually the better value. If the unit is 12+ years old, requires multiple repairs, or lacks modern safety features (auto-reverse, battery backup), a new opener pays for itself quickly in reliability and energy savings.
Yes — we install and program LiftMaster myQ and Chamberlain myQ smart openers that let you control, monitor, and receive alerts from your garage door on your phone. Smart opener installation starts at $600 including the unit and full programming.
