Deciding Garage Door Openers

Belt Drive

This type of opener provides ultimate quiet, smooth operation that won’t disturb anyone occupying the space. Some models are available with DC motor and battery backup.They are available in several different models to help fit anyone’s budget. 

Chain Drive

The chain drive’s rugged, reliable and powerful performance make it a number one choice for consumers. They are designed to lift the lightest to the heaviest of doors, depending upon the model of opener. They are also available with battery backup and DC motor for a smooth, quiet operation.
