We offer the three types of automatic garage door openers, each named for the type of mechanism that the motor drives along a rail to pull the overhead door open or push the overhead door closed: chain drive openers, belt drive openers, and screw drive openers. To drive your electric garage door opener, our line of motor type options include AC- or DC-powered motors.

Incorporating the latest tech, other automatic garage door opener options available from Sandusky Door and Hearth include smart openers and wall-mount, wi-fi garage door openers. (Many door openers are compatible with your smart home’s Alexa, Google Assistant, or Control4.) Additionally, we offer door openers with LED lighting and opener systems that feature advanced lighting and cameras.

Every residential garage situation is different, so we’ll help you select an automatic garage door opener that fits your home needs and lifestyle. For example, today’s automatic door openers offer features like “soft start – soft stop” which allows your garage door to slow down when opening and closing and provides smoother operation.
