Belt Drive Garage Door Openers: The Cure For Noisy Doors
Want to know the secret to your noisy operating garage door? Instead of operating on a metal chain, a belt drive garage door opener uses a rubber belt. The change-up in material results in little to no vibration (a.k.a), a much quieter option.
For the quietest, long-term function, we recommend belt drive garage door openers. Experience the night and day difference of a belt drive garage door opener:
- Ultra-Silent Operation
- Soft Start/Stop Mechanism
- Smart Control Panel Included
- A Strong But Quiet DC motor
Do Belt Drive Garage Door Openers Come With Advanced Technology Features?
Garage doors used to receive signals through radio waves. Now garage door openers can connect to wireless communication methods such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. There are a grand variety of automation and security options that smart openers supply for both residential and commercial properties in the Greater Houston area.
The main identifier for belt drive garage door openers is their steel-reinforced rubber, polyurethane, or fiberglass belt rather than a metal chain. However, the other identifier that makes these opener types so alluring (and slightly more expensive than the chain drive opener counterparts) is their advanced technology features!

Frequently Asked Questions About Belt Drive Openers
Which is the best garage door opener type for my detached garage?
Belt drive openers are perfectly suited for homeowners who require a quiet operation, especially if your young ones are sensitive to sound or a bedroom is next to or above an attached garage. If you need heightened durability for your detached garage, many updated commercial operators favor belt drive types. If sound is not a desired preference, then a chain drive garage door opener would be perfect for a detached garage.
What is a DC motor type?
A DC motor type stands for a ‘direct current’ styled motor. Openers with a DC motor are typically more expensive due to their newer, improved technology, near-silent operation, and soft start feature. The alternative is an AC motor type, or alternating current motor type, which is more powerful and an older, simpler technology.
What are the other opener types?
The garage door opener types are primarily belt drive, chain drive, screw drive, and jackshaft openers, also known as wall mount openers. You can learn more about each opener type and ask one of our experts which garage door opener is best for your home or business.
