Residential Garage Door Opener

Q: What will a new garage door opener cost?

The cost of a new garage door opener, fully installed (with new photo eye safety sensors) is usually between the mid-$300's to $500, depending upon the type of opener, and the number of accessories, such as remotes and keypad.

Q: Do LiftMaster garage door openers protect against intruders?

LiftMaster openers include rolling code technology, which protect against intruders by generating a new security code every single time the remote control is used on your garage door opener. When the remote control activates the garage door opener, a unique algorithm rolls the remote control's code to one of more than 100 billion possible codes. The old code will be thrown away, and the opener will know only to respond to the new code the next time the remote control is utilized. The same code will never be used more than once. Therefore, stolen previously used codes are useless to intruders.

There are 3 Main Types of Residential Garage Door Openers:

Chain Drive Garage Door Opener-

The chain drive runs the garage door on its track utilizing a metal chain. Chain drive openers are typically the least expensive type of opener, but are also the noisiest. So, if your garage is located below or next to a bedroom or main living space, you may want to opt for a belt drive opener instead. Today’s LiftMaster openers work with MyQ® technology, allowing you to monitor and control your garage door from anywhere with your smartphone.

Belt Drive Garage Door Opener-

Belt drive openers run on a rubber belt instead of a chain. They are usually a little more expensive than a chain drive, but many customers feel they are worth it. They are extremely reliable, and are also virtually silent. With a belt drive opener, you’ll never be bothered by the noise of your garage door. Today’s LiftMaster openers work with MyQ® technology, allowing you to monitor and control your garage door from anywhere with your smartphone. Our LiftMaster belt drive openers come equipped with battery backup technology, so you can access your garage, even during a power outage.

Wall Mount (Jackshaft) Opener-

Wall mounted openers are designed to optimize space. Wall-mount openers optimize garage ceiling space overhead, opening up possibilities for your garage and overhead space usage. LiftMaster wall mount openers are equipped with built-in Wi-Fi® for smartphone control, MyQ® Remote LED light, Integrated Battery Backup (one some models), and the Automatic Garage Door Lock.
