Chain drives are commonly used & are a dependable garage door opener. This drive steers the garage door on its track utilizing a metal chain. Chain drives can be very noisy yet are cheaper than belt drives. Avoid a chain drive garage door opener if your garage is near or below an adjoining room. If your garage door is older, you probably have a chain drive.
A chain drive will have no problem lifting a garage door. There’s also no risk that they’ll slip in the process, which suggests chain drives are slightly safer.
If adequately maintained, chain drives can last years. Unlike a belt drive, they are great at standing weather conditions such as humidity. Chain drives require lubrication regularly, or rust will build up and eventually cause the chain drive to fail.
Chain drives tend to shake & usually lift garage doors a few seconds slower than a belt drive opener.
