Types of Garage Door Openers We Install
Chain Drive Openers
The most common and affordable option, chain drive openers use a chain to move the door. They're durable and reliable, though slightly noisier than other types. Perfect for detached garages or workshops.
Belt Drive Openers
Using a rubber belt instead of a chain, belt drive openers operate quietly and smoothly. Ideal for homes with bedrooms above or adjacent to the garage. Slightly more expensive but worth the investment for quiet operation.
Screw Drive Openers
These openers use a threaded rod to move the door. They require minimal maintenance and work well in extreme temperatures. Excellent for Utah's climate with hot summers and cold winters.
Jackshaft Openers
Mounted directly to the side of the door, jackshaft openers save ceiling space. Perfect for garages with low ceilings, storage racks, or RV storage needs.
