HOW TO CHOOSE A GARAGE DOOR OPENER

First, Understand the Types of Garage Door Openers

Review the options below to determine which type fits your needs. Still unsure? Contact us or stop by one of our showrooms – we are here to help!

Belt Drive Garage Door Openers

Ideal for attached garages, the belt-drive opener delivers ultra-quiet, smooth operation thanks to its steel-reinforced rubber belt and DC motor—cutting noise and energy use. Models include WiFi-enabled versions with battery backup, LED lighting, and security+ rolling codes for smart-home convenience.

Chain Drive Garage Door Openers

The workhorse of garage door openers, chain-drive models are powerful, cost-effective, and great for heavy doors or detached garages. Options available with smart features and backup power.

Wall-Mount (Jackshaft) Garage Door Openers

Wall-mount openers free up ceiling space by operating from the side of the garage door, making them ideal for oversized or specialty door setups. They are quiet, compact, and available with app-based smart control from LiftMaster and Genie.

Direct Drive Garage Door Openers

Direct drive openers are SOMMER’s signature design, where the motor glides along the rail instead of pulling with a belt or chain. This unique system delivers whisper-quiet performance with almost no vibration, while reducing moving parts for long-term reliability. Models are available with options for app-based control, LED lighting, and battery backup.

Second, Choose the Smart Garage Door Opener Features You Want

Today’s openers do a lot more than open and close. Choose the features that matter most:

Phone/App Control – Open, close, and monitor from your phone.
Battery Backup – Keeps working even when the power goes out.
Built-in Cameras – See who’s coming and going, in real time. Lighting – Bright, long-lasting lights built into the opener or add-on lighting kits. Two-Way Audio – Talk and listen through your opener from anywhere.
