Which Type of Garage Door Opener Is Best for You?
Precision Installs 3 Main Types Of Garage Door Openers
Chain Drive
Chain Drive Openers run on a steel chain, are durable, but tend to be noisier than other types of openers. They are often less expensive than other opener types, and are a good option for detached garages, or homes that don’t have a living space adjacent to the garage.
Belt Drive
Belt Drive Openers run on a steel-reinforced belt and are virtually silent. Just as reliable as chain drive openers, belt drives are recommended for homes where there is a living space attached to the garage, as they will not disturb any occupants.
Jackshaft
Jackshaft Openers are mounted on the wall to the right or left of your door and connect directly to the torsion bar to help raise and lower your garage door. Because they do not have a belt or chain, the opener itself is practically silent. Jackshaft openers are a common choice for garages with an obstruction, such as a beam in the ceiling, limiting the garage's overhead space.
