Types of Garage Door Openers That We Install for Homeowners

Any good garage door opener should provide convenience and security and work reliably. It should also allow easy access to your garage during any type of inclement weather. Of course, advanced security features that prevent unauthorized access and safety features, like automatic reversal mechanisms to guard against accidents are a must. At Anytime Garage Door, we offer a variety of garage door openers to meet the diverse needs of homeowners. Our options in residential garage door openers include:

Chain Drive Garage Door Openers

Chain drive openers are the classic choice for homeowners who prize reliability and value. These affordable openers use a thick bicycle-like chain to move a trolley that opens and closes the garage door. While chain drive openers are known for their durability and strength, they tend to be louder than other options due to their metal-to-metal operation. They also require occasional lubrication and tensioning maintenance to keep the chain running smoothly.

Belt Drive Garage Door Openers

For homeowners seeking a quieter garage door, belt drive openers are an excellent choice. Instead of a chain, these openers use a sturdy rubber belt to move the trolley that opens and closes the garage door. Belt drive openers are ideal for attached garages or homes with living spaces above the garage, as they produce minimal noise and vibrations during operation. Additionally, the rubber belt eliminates the need for lubrication, resulting in lower maintenance requirements than chain drive openers.

Jackshaft Garage Door Openers

Jackshaft openers, also known as side-mount openers, offer a unique wall-mounted design that saves ceiling space and provides quieter operation compared to traditional overhead openers. These openers are installed beside the garage door and connect directly to the door's torsion bar or shaft. With fewer moving parts, jackshaft openers are known for their reliability and ease of installation, making them a popular choice for homeowners with limited headroom or space constraints.

Wi-Fi Enabled Smart Garage Door Openers

With a Wi-Fi enabled smart garage door opener, you’ll enjoy optimal convenience and security. These advanced openers allow you to control and monitor your garage door from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet. For example, you can use the Liftmaster MyQ or Genie Aladdin Connect apps to control whether your garage door opener is open or closed. You can also generate virtual keys to give visitors access to your home and automatically open or close the garage door at specified times. When you have a Wi-Fi- connected garage opener, your phone transforms into a remote for your garage, providing you with the utmost convenience.
