The LiftMaster Garage Door operator difference. The Belt Drive Garage Door Operator is the best option for a garage door. It is either made of steel belted rubber (like the tires on a car) or Kevlar, either is superb.
When it comes to the Belt Drive garage door operator the LiftMaster is our preferred maker. The best reason to choose LiftMaster is their warranty. The belt drive operators from LiftMaster have a Lifetime warranty on the motor and the belt. Yes, you read that correctly. Typical chain and screwdriver operators have 5/10-year warranties.
The Wright Door Co. is once again moving to another model of choice (when LiftMaster gets a new model we follow). However, this move was out of necessity. The model 85504 has been phased out and the New LiftMaster 87504 is the replacement. We have also decided to offer a Good, Better, Best option. We have decided that the choice is yours to make, and The Wright Door Co. wants you to have all possible information available.

Speed
The 87504 is a geared system; it will travel approximately 9” per second upward, 6.5” per second downward. It also has a smooth start and stop; it will gear itself for smooth operation and less wear and tear on your garage door.
Strength
The 87504 can easily lift any standard 2-car garage door. A common misunderstanding about garage doors and operators is that if the door is heavy to lift it is functionally normal. A garage door should lift easily, as it is the garage door springs that do the heavy lifting, not you or the garage door operator. The operator is acting as an extension of you. You are having the operator do the lifting rather than you. Therefore, if it is heavy for you to lift, it will be heavy for the garage door operator. Anytime that you are having a garage door operator install the company should provide door maintenance as part of the install. If the garage door is heavy, it should be balanced. This eases the wear & tear on the door and will not overwork your operator. The garage door springs do the heavy lifting NOT the garage door operator. But remember that the belt has a lifetime warranty.
Noise
With the proper install, the belt drive operator is virtually noise free. If you are a non-believer, check out the display at the St. Charles, Mo. Home and Garden Show.
