Rolling door motors have motors that run on either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). Both plug into a standard home power outlet, but DC-powered motors convert AC to DC power. The advantages of a DC motor include smaller size, quieter operation and softer starts and stops. DC-motor openers include battery backup, allowing operation when the power is out. DC rolling door motor can use AC power supply also,when AC power is available, ,if battery get broken,motor can use AC power to go on working. But AC motor can work with hand chain only when there’s a failure of power supply.
With so many different brands and models of rolling door motors out there, how do you know which motor is the best for your shutter door? There are many websites that list "The Top 10 rolling door motors" or "The most Popular roller shutter motor 2019". But according to who? We have been producing rolling door motors over 8 years, but we would not state "These are the top motors". We can only list the facts for each motor based on our installers' experience and most importantly, based on our customers' feedback over the years. One thing for sure, we can only recommend the most reliable products to keep our customers happy, also for our business sake. This is because we offer up to 5 years warranty on some of these rolling door motors, if the motor is not reliable then we would waste a lot of time & money to come back for warranty service. So the question remains, how do you choose the suitable rolling door motor? We believe you should make your decision based on the following: How much warranty is being offered? This is usually a good indication of the motor’s durability. Is the motor compatible with your shutter door? Check the size of your shutter door against the maximum size the motor can lift. Will the motor fit the garage door's clearance? If your roller shutter door has very limited side room, you might have to look for specific motor which is extra slim. The price! This is important too. If you're on a tight budget, which would you choose? A xxx motor with 1 years warranty which cost 100$, or the popular Doorstar motor with 2 years warranty which cost around 105$ ? In the end, we think warranty is what most matters (providing that the company provides full warranty paperwork and will uphold their warranty). There are many other factors that people would take into consideration when choosing a rolling door motor. As long as it suits your individual preferences and your shutter door requirements.
