The latest trend in garage door openers is called myQ technology. Embedded in all Chamberlain® (Liftmaster) products, myQ technology is what will now allow your garage door opener to “speak” with virtually anything in your house with an electrical source. In other words, it allows you to monitor and control your garage door from anywhere with a smartphone or computer, turn on house lights as you drive home, and more.
The result? Greater freedom. Greater control. Greater peace of mind than you’ve ever imagined possible.

Now that we have looked at the Top 10 Garage Doors for Denver, let’s review the top garage door openers.
Also known as automatic lifts or electric openers, garage door openers have been around a long time. Wikipedia tells us, in fact, that the electric overhead garage door opener was invented by C.G. Johnson in 1926 in Hartford City, Indiana, and became popular after World War II.
Since then, garage door openers have come a long way. They are stronger. They are quieter, some even as quiet as a whisper. And they are smarter, some even working with your home’s computer.
Most of us can’t remember life before automatic openers, and those that do remember it may say, “I’ve never had a garage door opener, I’ve never needed a garage door opener, and I do NOT want a garage door opener”, which tells us one thing with certainty:
Garage door openers are a wonderful luxury but are not what actually lifts the door.
In other words, if your garage door is not working correctly, then a new opener, no matter how great it is, will not solve the problem. Call 303.565.4409 for a free diagnostic from One Clear Choice Garage Doors if you are experiencing issues with your garage door.
So if it’s a luxury and not a necessity, why purchase a new garage door opener?
There are two main reasons: convenience and safety.
1. Convenience
Garage door openers provide the convenience of being able to get in to your garage quickly without having to leave your vehicle and being exposed to the elements.
2. Safety
A properly working garage door opener can be one of the best additions to your home in regards to garage door safety. A garage door opener can prevent you from injury while lifting a heavy door; it will tell you when your door is not balanced and is too heavy; and it lifts the door the same way every time at a speed that is safe.
Before you purchase an opener and have it installed, go through the following checklist:
- Make sure your door is rolling smoothly. Check to make sure that the rollers are not dragging, popping, grinding, or binding in any way.
- Make sure your door is balanced. This means that it should take the same effort to lift the garage door as it does to close the garage door.
- If your garage door is not working properly, and especially if it is heavy, do not try to rig your opener by turning the force up to higher levels in order to get the door up. YOUR OPENER IS NOT SUPPOSED TO LIFT THE WEIGHT OF THE DOOR. Doing this is extremely dangerous and even with lighter doors this practice can be fatal.
Now, on to the list.
The following garage door openers are all Liftmaster brand openers. In my opinion, no other brand even comes close to Liftmaster in terms of popularity, consistency (reliability), and features. Liftmaster (made by Chamberlain) comprises 70% of all the openers installed in the world.
4. 3255 Liftmaster ½ hp chain drive opener
This garage door opener makes the list for economical reasons. Extremely affordable, and quieter than its ancestors, this opener has all the power you need to get your garage door going.
The Liftmaster chain drive opener, if installed correctly, will last as long as you own your home and maybe even forever, with proper door maintenance. No bells and whistles here. Just gets your door up and closes it behind you.
3. 3280 Liftmaster ½ hp belt drive opener
This garage door opener is One Clear Choice Doors’ bestseller by far. This opener comes standard with a whisper drive motor for quiet and smooth operation, thanks to the anti-vibration hardware inside.
This opener is also reliable. I personally have never been on a service call that required a repair on this opener.
The wall button on this Liftmaster garage door opener has a light switch and a lock that enables you to lock out remotes when you are on vacation, or if you left your car in the driveway and your remote is in it and you don’t want to go get it. That way, if someone breaks into your car then they will not be able to get into your home.
In Part 2 we will reveal our top 2 picks for the best garage door openers. Stay tuned!
“After a batting practice gone awry I found my door littered with damage spots. One Clear Choice had a technician out the same day to provide me with an estimate. The door happened to be in stock and was replaced the following day in a matter of hours. The technician was friendly, informative and diligent. I recommend One Clear Choice without hesitation.” - mister5280

Excellent service, professionalism. customer service is crucial, and this company gets it. This is our second time choosing this company for repairs, and will definitely get future business. Thanks Jeff for all the efforts.” – brooklyn215
“William came out from Clear Choice today; this is my first time using the company. He quickly made the diagnois and repair of my garage door opener system. My little dog Rikki was with me being curious and protective as William worked away. William not only took the time to engage Rikki and build trust but give him special doggie treatment as well. For me, William was an excellent representative who has a great dog heart.” – Penny K. Studebaker from Denver, CO
“I called on a Saturday morning about a garage door that was no longer opening. When I tried to open the door – it only lifted off the ground about 12 inches. I wasn’t sure who I would be able to get to come to my house on a weekend to do a service call. I was going through my mail and came across a coupon in my Val-Pack envelope for 1 Clear Choice. I decided to give it a try. Wow – what a lucky call for me! Dustin arrived at my house about 4:00 pm and quickly got my door moving and carefully went over all of my options – repair, replace, fix, etc. I understood my choices and decided to purchase a new Liftmaster 3280M model opener. Dustin quickly installed this door opener and then walked me through the safety features and operation. I could not have been more pleased with my experiences with your company. Dustin did an absolutely fantastic job and I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. Thank you for a job well done!” – Virginia T.
“I found this company through the Money Mailer. After having a few other companies out to look at how I can make my garage doors quieter It became apparent that Jeff and Clear Choice were the answer. Jeff was timely, professional, pleasant and mature. He didn’t do the hard sell, but gave me the options of poly rollers, lubing the door parts, replacing the spring. I greatly appreciated the fact that he was friendly, didn’t smell like smoke and was over the age of 21. I put the Clear Choice sticker on my door and will definitely call them in the future.” – Dana
“I had an exceptional experience with this garage door company. Ty was the technician who serviced my door and could not have been more professional, courteous, and pleasant. Makes me wish I had another door for him to work on. I would highly recommend this company. Be sure to ask for Ty!” - Cheryl Neumayer from Highlands Ranch, CO
“We had a very pleasant experience recently, being serviced by your associate, Eric…he was great! Honest, so proficient and extremely informative! It’s been a long time since I’ve felt so satisfied with a company’s service and would not hesitate to recommend Eric and One Clear Choice to anyone!” - Jim Devantery from Denver, Colorado
“They got back to right away on a weekend. It was real quick. They did the work the next business day.” – A Neighbor in Littleton, CO
“I had a problem with a weak cable and the general operation of the garage door. On Monday 4 May Ty Ross came out on a service call. He was very neat, professional and friendly and explained what was happening with the door. The thing that impressed me was that he did not try to up sell me citing a dangerous and hazardous situation. He simply showed me what was happening and explained a few options that were available had the door fixed and am completely satisfied with the job and would recommend Clear Choice to anyone.”
“Ty Ross arrived at appointed time, reviewed the condition of the failed Overhead Door spring (broken)and inspected the rest of the hardware. I also had a frayed lifting lanyard on one side of the door. He provided a written quote. I accepted the quote and told him to continue and repair the broken door. A very competent technician, worked quickly, safely, and replaced the coil spring and the lifting lanyards in a expedited manner. I am recommending this company for prompt, efficient, quality work.”
“On 6/20/09, John came to adjust (it would not close) and do general maintained on my garage door. He was great. He told me about 1. why the door would not go all the way down, 2. the details of the opener motor, 3. important things to watch for including the spring and what was available when these elements eventually failed. He was informative about essential things, he worked quickly and it cost a little over $100 which included new rollers.”
