Belt Driven Garage Door Openers

For several reasons, these are the most popular garage door openers in today’s market. The belt is reinforced with steel, just like the belts in your vehicle. The belt can be both quiet and durable. Belt-driven garage door openers also brought wireless control from anywhere in the world using our phones and laptops, automatic self-adjusting limits, lifetime warranties on major drive components, DC motors with self-lubricating gears encased in steel housings, automatic closing features, cameras, and more.

Chain Driven Garage Door Openers

Most consumers are choosing not to have chain-driven garage door openers installed, which has led to a change in retail sales focus for large corporations. Chain drives are rarely available, even at your typical home improvement stores. Some models account for the growing demand for wood-faced or “overlay” garage doors. These garage doors are much heavier- up to twice as heavy. For this reason, a heavy-duty chain drive can be quite practical for such applications.
