Belt Drive Garage Door Openers
Similar to chain drive openers but use a rubber belt instead of a chain. They are quieter than chain drive openers and can have Wi-Fi features.

Chain Drive Garage Door Openers
These are the most common and economical type of garage door openers. They use a metal chain to raise and lower the garage door.

Direct Drive Garage Door Openers
Also known as jackshaft openers, they mount directly to the torsion bar and do not use a traditional rail. They are often used in garages with limited headroom.

Screw Drive Garage Door Openers
These openers use a threaded steel rod to move the door. They require less maintenance than chain or belt drive openers but can be noisier.
