Types of Residential Garage Door Openers

Chain Drive Openers

Chain drive garage door openers represent the most popular and cost-effective choice for residential applications, using a durable metal chain mechanism to lift and lower the garage door. These openers provide exceptional strength and reliability, making them ideal for heavy doors and households with frequent usage requirements.

Cost-Effective Performance: Lower initial investment with proven long-term reliability and minimal maintenance requirements
Horsepower Options: Available in 1/2, 3/4, and 1 horsepower configurations for various door weights and sizes

Belt Drive Openers

Belt drive garage door openers provide the quietest operation available, using a reinforced rubber or polyurethane belt instead of a metal chain. These openers are perfect for homes with living spaces adjacent to or above the garage where noise reduction is a priority.
