According to the National Sleep Foundation, 74 percent of people report that they need a quiet atmosphere to get a good night’s sleep. But with a noisy garage door opener, there is increased cause for disturbance and sleep disruption. Keeping this in mind, we’ve developed unique, quiet garage door openers to diminish excess noise and help homeowners get the rest they need.
The technology necessary to produce functionally quiet garage door openers has advanced greatly in the last decade. One of the top reasons people call a Merlin Dealer to replace their working garage door opener is a noise disturbance – a prevalent issue for homes with family members who work odd hours, individuals who have a bedroom above or adjacent to the garage, as well as households with infants. To reduce the noises that are often associated with a garage door opener more than ten years old, both SilentDrive Elite myq and WhisperDrive garage door openers offer a solution.
Merlin is dedicated to improving the lives of homeowners through our industry-leading innovations that help create a quiet home environment. Upgrading an outdated, noisy garage door opener for one of Merlin’s models, which are virtually silent, ensures a more quiet and relaxing setting for all members of the household.
Belt-drive garage door openers, which feature a steel-reinforced rubber belt, eliminate the vibrations and noises associated with older chain drive models, resulting in a quiet garage door opener. Separately, wall mount garage door openers, which hang on the wall next to the garage door, run ultra-quiet by eliminating sound and vibrations through the ceiling. Wall mounted quiet garage door opener models, such as Merlin’s MJ3800 also free up ceiling space in the garage, providing homeowners with additional storage options to reduce clutter.
To keep your garage door running quietly and efficiently, regular maintenance is key. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the rollers, bearings, and hinges every few months to reduce squeaks and friction.
If the noise persists despite these efforts, it may be time for a professional check-up. Reach out to us for expert servicing and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a quiet garage door.
