LiftMaster Belt Drive Garage Door Openers
Looking for an ultra-quiet, high-performance belt drive garage door opener? The LiftMaster 6690L and 6580L are LiftMaster’s newest Premium Series belt drive models, both featuring 1-1/4 HP DC motors, battery backup, myQ Wi-Fi connectivity, and LiftMaster’s Corner-to-Corner LED lighting.
If you’ve been searching for the 87504-267 or 84505R, these are their direct replacements. LiftMaster discontinued the older model numbers in late 2025 and replaced them with the 6690L and 6580L respectively. The core features you knew are still here, with better motor power, improved camera technology, and a lifetime motor and belt warranty.
Better Built Door is an authorized LiftMaster dealer. Call (425) 825-1209 for pricing and installation.
LiftMaster 6690L
Formerly the LiftMaster 87504-267
The 6690L is LiftMaster’s flagship residential belt drive opener. Built for high-use garages and attached homes where noise matters, it pairs a 1-1/4 HP DC motor with a reinforced belt drive for virtually silent operation.
Key Features:
- 1-1/4 HP DC Motor — more powerful than the 1/2 or 3/4 HP motors found on previous-generation openers
- Built-in 360° Camera — 130-degree adjustable wide-angle camera with full night vision, viewable in the myQ app
- Corner-to-Corner Lighting™ — 2000-lumen 360° LED lighting illuminates your entire garage
- Battery Backup — your garage door keeps working during power outages
- myQ Wi-Fi Connectivity — open, close, and monitor your garage door from your smartphone
- Security+ 2.0 — encrypted remote codes prevent unauthorized entry
- Lifetime Motor and Belt Warranty
Best suited for homeowners who want the full feature set: camera, lighting, smart control, and maximum motor power.
LiftMaster 6580L
Formerly the LiftMaster 84505R
The 6580L is the 6690L’s sibling in LiftMaster’s Premium Series — same ultra-quiet belt drive platform, same 1-1/4 HP DC motor, same Wi-Fi connectivity. It’s the right pick if you want premium belt drive performance without paying for the integrated camera.
Key Features:
- 1-1/4 HP DC Motor — whisper-quiet operation ideal for attached garages
- Reinforced Belt Drive — minimal vibration, minimal noise
- Battery Backup — operates during power outages
- myQ Wi-Fi Connectivity — smartphone control and monitoring
- Security+ 2.0 — encrypted remote codes
- LED Lighting — built-in LED illumination
- Lifetime Motor and Belt Warranty
Best suited for homeowners who want premium belt drive quality without the integrated camera feature.
Why Belt Drive?
If your garage is attached to your home (especially with bedrooms above or beside it), belt drive is worth the upgrade over chain drive.
The noise difference is significant — chain drive openers transmit vibration and sound into the structure, while belt drive openers glide almost silently. For multi-story homes, it’s often the single biggest quality-of-life improvement you can make during an opener replacement.
Replacing an Older LiftMaster?
If you already have an older LiftMaster opener — including the 87504-267, 84505R, 8500, 8550, 8557, or any other discontinued model — we can help you identify the right replacement and install it. Most older units can be swapped out in a single service visit.
Not sure which model you have? Call us with the model number off the unit (usually on the back or side of the motor housing) and we’ll tell you what’s current.
