Leading Garage Door Opener Products

Chain Drive Garage Door Openers

If you’re looking for a heavy-duty garage door opener that will provide reliable performance year after year, consider a chain drive opener. Operating on a metal chain, these openers provide maximum lifting power. However, keep in mind that these are one of the noisier options for new openers because of the moving metal parts. 

Belt Drive Garage Door Openers

For smooth, quiet, long-lasting operation, we recommend belt drive garage door openers. These openers run on a rubber belt, reducing vibrations for nearly silent operation. The smoother operation also makes them long-lasting and easy to maintain, giving you the best bang for your buck when investing in a new garage door opener. 

Wall Mount Garage Door Openers

If you have limited ceiling space in your garage or need to lift a heavy glass or wood garage door, consider a wall-mount garage door opener. These are installed beside the garage door and attach directly to the springs, giving you maximum lifting power and out-of-the-way storage. 

Screw Drive Garage Door Openers

Screw-drive garage door openers offer a powerful and versatile operation even in extreme temperatures. However, they do tend to be the noisiest option for garage door openers and need additional maintenance to keep the threaded rod in great shape.

Best Garage Door Opener Accessories

Battery Backup

A battery backup is an essential garage door opener accessory, especially if you live in an area that sees frequent severe weather or power outages. An emergency battery backup allows you to operate your garage door opener even during a power outage, ensuring your family doesn’t get trapped in or out of the garage. 

WiFi-Connectivity 

To bring your garage door into the modern era, WiFi connectivity is a must. Smart garage door openers allow you to monitor and operate your garage door from anywhere, giving you peace of mind that your home is secure. You can even upgrade WiFi garage door openers with voice control and video monitoring. 

Remotes and Keypads

With a wide range of remote and keypad options, we can find the best solution to suit your lifestyle and the needs of your garage. Whether you need a universal remote, a keypad with rolling access codes, or an opener that can handle multiple remotes for your large family, we have the resources to help.
