Start with the Number of Garage Bays at Your Home
Start with the Number of Garage Bays at Your HomeBefore selecting a garage door opener for your home, it’s important to find the appropriate model based on the number of bays you have. If you have a single or double car garage door, a model that is ½ the horsepower is appropriate. Once you know how many doors, the next step is to decide between chain and belt operated openers.
Chain Drive Openers
Chain drives are the most reliable and least expensive. The downside to this opener is that it runs on a track with a metal chain, which makes it noisy. If your garage is located below or adjacent to the main rooms in your home, you might not want to choose this opener. However, if your garage is detached or the noise does not bother you, this is the best choice for you and your family.
Precision Garage Door Service is a name you can trust, which is why we choose the Liftmaster brand for our customers. Liftmaster’s garage door openers are the most advanced on the market and are proven to be: strong, quiet, versatile and reliable. Below are a few chain and belt drive opener options, along with benefits of each model.

Belt Drive Openers
Belt drives are regarded in the industry as the best type of opener.
