Residential Garage Door Openers
Residential Garage Door Openers
Belt drive, chain drive and wall mount openers for residential garage doors, from LiftMaster and Linear. Every unit below is in stock and ships the same day on orders placed before 2pm Pacific.
Belt or chain? A belt drive runs quietly and suits a garage under or beside a bedroom. A chain drive costs less and handles heavier doors. A wall mount bolts beside the door instead of hanging from the ceiling, which frees up overhead space for storage or a high-lift track.

|---|---|
| Have a bedroom over or beside the garage | A belt drive — the 6580L for a standard door, the 6690L for a heavy one |
| Have a heavy, wide or double-wide door | The 4690L chain drive, or the 98032 wall mount |
| Want storage or a car lift overhead | A wall mount — 98022 or 98032 |
| Need the door to work in a power cut | Any of the LiftMaster models above — all include battery backup |

California and Washington buyers: battery backup is required by law on residential garage door openers. Every LiftMaster model on this page includes it.
Before You Order
Measure your door height. Openers ship with a 7 ft rail as standard. An 8 ft or 10 ft door needs an extension kit or a longer rail — tell us the height when you order and we will make sure the right rail goes in the box.
Check your headroom. A ceiling-mounted opener needs about 2 in. of clearance above the top of the door in its open position. If you have less, a wall mount is the answer.
Not sure? Call (866) 965-5599. We install these for a living and will tell you what fits.
