Types of Garage Door Openers
Garage door openers come in a few different types depending on the drive mechanism.
Belt-Drive Garage Door Openers
Belt-driven garage door openers use a rubber or polyurethane belt to lift and lower the door. The belt connects the motor to a trolley, which moves along a track to operate the door. A belt-drive opener offers smooth, quiet operation. The rubber absorbs vibrations, reducing noise.
Our LiftMaster belt drive models include:
Chain-Drive Garage Door Openers
A chain-driven garage door opener lifts and lowers the door with a metal chain. Thanks to the chain’s strength, these openers can lift even the largest and heaviest garage doors. Chain-drive systems often suit commercial use. While these openers are heavy-duty heroes, the chain does cause noise and vibration during operation.
One option in this category is the LiftMaster 81600, which can lift doors of up to 1,1000 pounds.
Jackshaft Garage Door Openers
Unlike belt- or chain-drive openers, which mount to the ceiling, jackshaft openers attach to the wall. Also called wall-mount openers, these systems connect to the door’s torsion bar. The opener turns the torsion bar, which controls the torsion springs that counterbalance the door’s weight.
Jackshaft openers free up ceiling space. This feature is ideal for smaller garages or those with obstacles on the ceiling. These openers also boast quiet operation.

Which Type of LiftMaster Garage Door Opener Is Right for You?
The ideal opener depends on your garage door type, space availability and noise preferences. Here are recommendations based on your priorities:
- Quiet operation: Belt drive openers offer whisper-quiet performance. A belt-driven garage door opener is a good choice if you have an attached garage near a living space.
- Heavy-duty use: Choose a chain-drive garage door opener for heavier doors that open and close often. Chain-driven openers are a cost-effective option, but they are noisier than the other opener types.
- Optimizing space: Wall-mount openers make the most of vertical space, freeing up your garage ceiling. These openers blend visual appeal with quiet, smooth operation.
