So if you’re in the market for a new garage door opener, it’s worth taking a look at what’s available in 2023.

LiftMaster Garage Door Openers

LiftMaster is one of the garage door opener brands that is owned by The Chamberlain Group (CGI), a company that has been around since 1954. Over the years, they’ve grown to become one of the best-known manufacturers of residential garage door openers, commercial and industrial door operators, and gate operators. They also make remote controls, keypads, and accessories for these products.

Their LiftMaster brand produces three types of garage door openers: chain drive, belt drive, and screw drive. These are offered in three different series — Contractor Series®, Premium Series® and Elite Series® — which have different features and specifications depending on what type of needs you have for your home or business. 

Types of Garage Door Openers

There are a few types of garage door openers: chain drive, belt drive, smart openers, and wall mount openers. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. 

A chain drive garage door opener is the most economical and reliable option. The chain drive uses a metal chain to pull the trolley, which moves your garage door up and down. It’s not as quiet as other options but it is less likely to need service due to its simplicity. Many LiftMaster belt drive models are also quiet enough for garages that sit below or near a bedroom or living room.

LiftMaster offers a wide range of chain drive models from 1/3 HP, which is ideal for single standard doors up to 1-1/4 HP that can lift heavier wooden doors or carriage house style doors. If you have any questions about garage door openers give us a call at 888-845-3667
