Which Garage Door Opener
Is Right for Your Home?
The drive system determines how the opener moves the door - and which type is right for your Long Island home depends on your garage configuration, noise tolerance, and ceiling height. Our technicians will recommend the best option for your specific situation.
Belt Drive
Quietest option available. Rubber belt reinforced with Kevlar or fiberglass runs along the rail. Virtually silent - ideal for any Long Island attached garage where bedrooms or living spaces share a wall.
Recommended for Attached GaragesChain Drive
Most durable and cost-effective. Carbon steel chain - louder than belt drive but extremely reliable. Best choice for detached garages, heavy doors, and budget-conscious homeowners throughout Long Island.
Best Value - Detached GaragesScrew Drive
Long threaded steel rod rotates to drive the trolley. No chain, no belt. Fewer moving parts means less maintenance. Performs reliably in Long Island's cold winters - Genie's specialty drive system.
Low Maintenance - Cold WeatherJackshaft / Wall-Mount
Motor mounts on the wall beside the door - directly on the torsion shaft. Frees the entire ceiling for storage. Perfect for high-lift tracks, vaulted garage ceilings, or Long Island estate garages.

Our Recommendation for Most Long Island Homes:
For attached garages - LiftMaster 84505R or 87504-267 (belt drive, DC motor, myQ WiFi). For detached or budget-conscious - LiftMaster 8365W-267 or Genie ChainDrive 550. For estate or high-ceiling garages - LiftMaster 98022 or Genie Model 6170 wall-mount. Battery backup is essential for all Long Island installations.
Why Battery Backup
Is Essential on Long Island
Long Island experiences frequent power outages - nor'easters, summer thunderstorms, and utility failures routinely knock out electricity for hours or even days in Nassau and Suffolk County. Without battery backup, a power outage means your car is trapped in the garage.
Battery backup units allow your opener to perform 20 to 50 open/close cycles without any electrical power - enough to get in and out through an extended outage. Both LiftMaster and Genie offer battery backup on their premium models, and it can be added as an accessory to many existing openers.
1 Stop Garage Door recommends battery backup as standard on every attached garage opener installation throughout Long Island. It is not optional on the South Shore where flooding and storm outages are most frequent.

Real Long Island Opener
Installations
Had the LiftMaster 87504-267 installed in my Merrick home last fall. The difference from my old chain drive is night and day - completely silent, the built-in camera is great, and the myQ app has already saved me twice when I forgot to close the door before a trip. Outstanding installation by 1 Stop Garage Door.
Genie StealthDrive 750 installed in our Smithtown attached garage. 1 Stop Garage Door recommended it because of the built-in battery backup - which we needed three weeks later during a storm outage. Belt drive is whisper-quiet. Professional installation, perfect Aladdin Connect setup. Very satisfied.
Had the LiftMaster 98022 wall-mount installed in our estate garage in Brookville. Finally have full ceiling clearance for storage. The automatic door lock gives real peace of mind. 1 Stop Garage Door knew exactly how to configure it for our high-lift track system. Excellent work.
Motor not responding, grinding noise, door won't move - we diagnose and repair all LiftMaster and Genie opener problems same day throughout Nassau and Suffolk County. Emergencies handled nights and Sundays too.
