been looking at getting 2 new garage door motors/openers. Basically my question is simple and probably stupid but where do I buy the track for the chain? Every garage opener I see doesn’t look like it includes the chain or track and it definitely doesn’t look like it’d fit in the box they come in. Someone please point me in the right direction.

thanks

I got my parents a garage genie for Xmas and it came with the track and chain.  
Edit: this is what I got them and it had everything needed to install.

They come with the track , opener, and chain. The tracks are in sections in the box.

where my lift is and where my door opener motor is located are clear of eachother. the lift is deeper into the garage. I have an ancient genie on one side now and it works, there is just no clicker for it, and that gets annoying. I think what I am going to do is get 1 new one with a remote and put it where my opener is now and move the old school one to the other side, or just 2 get new ones.

have not decided on a brand yet. Suggestions?

The genie I got my parents is stupid quiet which is nice. Pretty easy to set up as well and the sensors/keypad work well too.
