Which garage door operator is right for you?

Not all garage door openers are the same, and the best choice comes down to your space and needs. Belt-drive operators run smooth and quiet, great if your garage is under a bedroom or next to a living area. Chain-drive operators are tough and dependable, perfect for heavy residential garage doors, but they do make a bit more noise. Jackshaft operators mount to the wall beside your door, freeing up ceiling space and working well for high-lift or custom doors.
