types of garage door openers

Chain Drive Garage Door Openers

The chain drive garage door opener is most common and uses a chain to move the garage door on the track. It fits more widths and heights than any other type of garage door opener, making it affordable for most homeowners.

Belt Drive Garage Door Openers 

Belt drive openers are similar to chain drive openers, except instead of using a chain, they use a rubber belt. Belt driven systems are more quiet than chain driven systems and are more energy efficient, reducing strain on your garage door and the motor.

Screw Drive Garage Door Openers

Screw-driven garage door openers have a threaded metal rod that works like a screw when it opens and closes the door. A motor turns the metal rod, which is attached to a chain pulley. When the rod moves away from you as you open the door, it turns the pulley that makes the chain pull down on the track.

Jackshaft Garage Door Openers

The jackshaft type of garage door opener is mounted on the wall at either end of the torsion bar. This type is the least common type of garage door opener used. It usually uses automatic deadbolts and has a computerized system that monitors for different conditions such as blocked sensors or low battery power.

Direct Drive Openers

The direct-drive opener uses a gear wheel to move the trolley on a fixed chain. The motor is inside the trolley. The gear wheel drives the track through a worm gear mounted on the bottom of the motor housing and an idler wheel on top of the right side shaft.

Drawbar Openers 

Drawbar Openers are the most common type of door openers and can be found in any warehouse with heavy traffic. They usually have a trolley which rolls back and forth on the rails and their weight is supported by counterweights.
