What You Should Know About a Garage Door Opener Belt Drive

The garage door opener was certainly a convenient invention. However, one complaint that people often had about early garage door openers was the loud noise they made when opening or closing. The garage door opener belt drive eliminates that problem entirely. Powered by either a chain or a belt drive, this opener features extremely quiet operation. It also reduces the everyday wear and tear on your garage door due to its soft starting and stopping capabilities.

Other Advantages of Choosing a Belt Drive for Your Garage Door Opener

Every second matters when you’re in a hurry to get your car in the garage so you can get into the house. The good news about belt drives is that they can lift even the heaviest of doors faster than their chain-based counterparts. Along with that, this product can endure incredible strength so that you don’t have to worry about your garage door breaking at an inconvenient time.

Yet another benefit of choosing a garage door opener that operates via a belt drive is that it’s easy for you to maintain. You don’t have to lubricate it like you need to do with a chain drive. However, we do recommend scheduling regular preventive maintenance to keep it operating as efficiently as possible for as long as possible.

Safety is Always Our Top Concern

We understand how much you love your family and want to keep them safe. After all, it’s not worth trading the convenience of being able to open your garage door from the inside of your vehicle if it puts your loved ones at risk in any way. Our belt drive opener, along with every other type of garage door opener that we sell, comes with a monitoring system called DoorDetect. The garage door will automatically stop if anything enters its path while in motion, such as a person, animal, or bicycle. Tragic accidents can happen in a matter of seconds, but DoorDetect stops them from before they happen.

Friendly customer service. Bought a hard to find remote for an old garage door opener. Opener has 3 buttons so I can program both doors to it. Easy to find location right off 29th St.

I was given a very fair quote. A week later a tech came and installed. Then came back to install lock. Tech was very professional and polite. Spen time with me making adjustments to my liking. I totally recommend Overhead door to my fellow Okies.

Overhead Door did a great job. They got me on the schedule the next day and fixed my spring in 30 minutes or less. Joe was great, professional, and courteous. Awesome service, and he didn't tell me I needed extra materials like the previous garage door people that quoted me $575. Overhead Door told me a price over the phone and it didn't change. I'd recommend them every time.

Pleased with their services. Coil spring broke and door stopped working. Spoke to Ron, and less than 24 hrs later the technician had us up n running again. These guys did exactly what they promised to do, with no nonsense. I like that.
