If there’s one device that homeowners often take for granted because it’s just there and we often overlook it is garage door openers. What most of us don’t realize is they make our lives a tad bit easier every day. Imagine if we don’t have that device and we get home tired from work. We would have to get off our cars and lift open our garage doors ourselves. Sounds burdensome, right?

Thankfully, we now have these little devices that are convenient and helpful. These garage door openers are motorized devices that move trolleys up and down which are then connected to the door, to open and close the garage. This saves us a lot of time and from doing the heavy lifting ourselves; not to mention that they also keep our family safe from intruders and danger.

Not all houses are the same though and not all homeowners have the same garage door services needs. That is why our company, Cookson Door Sales of Arizona, made sure to offer a variety of LiftMaster garage door openers to service specific homeowners’ needs.

One thing that homeowners should be aware of is that each type of garage door opener has its ...
... own advantages and drawbacks. So one has to determine their preference and specifications to narrow down their choices and to make sure that their needs are met.

For Cookson Door Sales of Arizona, our company offers three types of residential garage door openers. These are chain drive, belt drive and screw drive. Among these Liftmaster residential garage door openers in Phoenix, Arizona, the most popular one is the chain drive. Chain drive is generally known to have the lowest price among the three. It is also reliable and sturdy, built to handle heavy and frequently used doors and can mostly operate for 10 or more years. This type of garage door opener however can cause a little disturbance because of the noise that metal to metal creates since it uses a chain to push and pull the trolley in the track. This type will be best suited for detached garages.

The belt drive is another type. Among the three, this one is considered to be the most silent type. It follows the same mechanism used on chain drives but with a replacement of a quieter belt instead of a chain. This type usually has sleeker designs and is ideal for attached garages. This type however is a little expensive compared to chain drive.

Lastly, we have the screw drive. This type is a little different compared to the other two. It doesn’t follow the same mechanism and principle as the push and pull requirement of the belt drive and the chain drive. Instead, it uses a trolley which rides on a threaded rod that is then being rotated by a motor to open and close. Screw drives however, are a bit noisier compared to belt drives and is the most expensive.
