You may not realize it, but your garage door opener gets more daily use than most appliances in your home. It’s one you rely on to ensure safety, security and comfort to your home. There are many factors to consider when choosing a garage door opener. 

Liftmaster

BRAND and COMPATIBILITY: The top competing brands for garage door openers are Liftmaster and Genie.  It is estimated that Liftmaster and Genie garage door openers are in 90 percent of the some 50 million garages in the United States. 

  • Liftmaster. Parent company is Chamberlain, who also makes Craftsman, Access Master, Raynor and others. All garage door openers made by Chamberlain have fully interchangeable parts, remotes, transmitters and other accessories.
  • Genie. Parent company is the Overhead Door Company, who also makes Alliance, Norelco, Blue Max, Pro-Lift and others. These brands and parts are interchangeable with Genie garage door opener parts and remotes.
Genie

SAFETY:  Both Genie and Liftmaster garage door openers include the latest state-of-the-art safety features including:

  • Automatic reversing action sensors and infrared beams to stop the garage door’s downward movement if there is an obstruction.
  • Technology that sends a different signal each time you use your remote, making it almost impossible for someone to figure out your code.
  • Back-up or battery power supplies, making sure you are never left in the dark or unable to open your garage due to a power outage.

TYPE

  • Chain drive: Most popular and affordable. Uses a chain to move the door up and down.
  • Screw drive: Slow-moving design relies on a long threaded bar to open the door.
  • Belt drive: Considered the quietest door opener and often costs more than other models. Design uses rubber belts to open the door.
