Chain drive garage door openers are typically an economical choice however they are noisier than belt-driven.  This is particularly an issue with garages with living space above them. 

Direct-drive garage door openers include any opener that doesn't utilize a belt or chain to open the garage.  The motor for this model glides along a spring-tensioned stationary chain.  It is reliable and only has one moving part.

Screw-drive garage door openers are noisy and slow.  These openers have essentially become obsolete with the chain drive and the belt drive models taking over the market.

The best way to choose between the types of openers is to call the trained technicians at Dependable Doors, LLC.  They know all of the possible openers and how they operate.  They can best assist you in making a decision based on noise, weight of the door and the configuration of the garage tresses.
