Which Type of Garage Door Opener Is Best for You?
There Are 4 Main Types of Openers
Chain Driven Openers
Chain drives are typically the most commonly used and are a very reliable type of opener. This drive runs the garage door on its track by using a metal chain. Chain drives are slightly cheaper than belt drives.
However, chain drive openers tend to be noisy, so if your garage is located below or adjacent to the main rooms in your home, you don’t want this opener. We typically don’t recommend these types of openers because the small savings aren’t worth it. LiftMaster® also does not warranty the chain for life like it does the belt on the belt drives.
Screw Driven Openers
Screw drive openers use a lifting device that runs on a threaded steel rod, rather than a chain or a rubber belt. These openers work best in locations where the weather and temperature are constant throughout the year.
They are the slowest and noisiest of all garage door openers, but also the least expensive. If you didn’t like how noisy or slow your current opener was, you won’t enjoy having a screw driven opener in your garage. Check out our video showing you the differences between openers below.
Belt Driven Openers
Belt drives are regarded as the best type of opener in the garage door industry. Not only are belt drives as reliable as chain drives, but they are also virtually silent. This drive runs on a steel-reinforced belt and typically costs more than chain & screw drive openers.
If your garage is attached to your home and has surrounding bedrooms, you’ll never be bothered by the noise of your garage door if you get a belt driven opener installed. Many customers end up extremely satisfied with their purchase of a belt drive opener, and can’t ever imagine going back to the noise of a chain opener.
Jackshaft Openers
When would you want a jackshaft opener? When you have high ceilings in your garage or want to free up some ceiling space. A jackshaft opener is mounted to the left or right of your garage door and attached to the torsion tube. The cost is slightly higher than a ceiling mounted opener.
