Types of Garage Door Openers
Chain Drive
Chain-drive garage door openers are the most common. They operate on a chain connecting the trolley and motor. Because they are mainly made of metal parts, they do have a noisy operation, but they are still a popular option for garage door opener installation.
Belt Drive
This garage door opener uses a rubber belt instead of a metal chain, which makes it one of the quietest garage door openers. Also, because of the fewer moving parts, it doesn’t suffer from the issues that come from high friction. This is a great option if you want a long-lasting, quiet garage door opener.
Screw Drive
This garage door opener uses a trolley that travels along a steel rod while the motor rotates. It is not as noisy as chain-drive openers but not as quiet as belt-drive openers. It performs well, but other garage door openers are better, which is why we typically don’t see these much anymore.
Jackshaft
Also known as wall-mount garage door openers, these openers stick to the side of the wall instead of the ceiling. They can be more expensive and don’t work with every system, so check your measurements before purchasing. However, they are a great option if you have an especially heavy garage door.
Direct Drive
This is the quietest garage door opener on the market. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, which more than makes up for the price.

Types of Garage Door Tracks
High-Lift
These tracks bring the garage door up higher, close to the ceiling. This is a great option if you want the extra room or have tall ceilings. It consolidates space well, and will allow you more room for vehicles or other equipment.
Vertical Lift
This track is similar to a high-lift garage door, but stores the garage door even higher. You will need a very tall ceiling to use a vertical lift. It will give you more space in the garage. Many businesses prefer this option if they have large buildings or warehouse spaces.
