Chain drive, screw drive, and belt drive are three types of garage door openers, each with its own mechanism for operating the door. 

A chain drive opener utilizes a metal chain, similar to a bicycle chain, to move the garage door. The chain is attached to a motorized trolley, which pulls or pushes the door along the tracks to open or close it. Chain drive openers are known for their durability. However, they tend to generate more noise during operation compared to other types.

On the other hand, a screw drive opener operates using a threaded steel rod, also known as a "screw," that rotates to move the garage door. The rod is connected to a carriage that travels along the track, pulling or pushing the door. Screw drive openers tend to require less maintenance than chain drive openers. They are also generally quieter than chain drive openers. However, they may not be suitable for areas with extreme temperature fluctuations.

Belt drive openers use a rubber belt, typically made of reinforced materials like fiberglass or steel, to operate the garage door. The belt is attached to a motorized trolley that moves the door along the tracks. Belt drive openers are known for their smooth and quiet operation.
