Opener Types
When choosing a garage door opener type, it’s important to consider the size and weight of your garage door, along with your specific needs and preferences before making a purchase, as each type has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Whether you value simplicity, convenience, or security, there’s a remote out there that’s perfect for you.
These openers are designed to lift and lower the garage door by using a chain mechanism that is attached to a trolley. Chain drive openers are ideal for heavy and large garage doors due to their powerful motor.
These openers use a rubber belt to operate the garage door, making them a quieter option compared to chain drive openers. Belt drive openers are ideal for homes where the garage is located next to a bedroom or living area.
These openers use a threaded steel rod to lift and lower the garage door, using fewer moving parts compared with other garage door types, these are ideal for most residential garage doors as they are very quiet.
These openers use a motor to move the garage door directly, eliminating the need for chains or belts. Being quiet and smooth, they are ideal for homes where the garage is located beneath a bedroom or living area.
These openers are alternatively mounted on the wall beside the garage door and use a system of gears/tubes connected to springs to open and close the door. They are ideal for both garages with high or low ceilings.
