Chain drive: These tend to be the noisiest garage door openers, but they are affordable and very common.
Belt drive: These are more expensive than a chain drive but quieter than chain and screw drive openers. They are a good option for attached garages.
Screw drive: While screw drives are still a noisy option, they have fewer parts than a chain drive and therefore require less maintenance over time.
Professionals can help you dispose of your old garage door. After all, how many of us have a car large enough to haul away an old garage door, or even know where to dump it?
