[QUOTE="Allen, post: 106883, member: 389"] Garage door openers that are wall mounted are sure nice when you are standing in the back of your pickup. My last house had I-Drive garage door openers, they are a little bit more than standard chain/belt drives, but about the same as the high end chain and belt drives. One thing about them is they can be a little tricky to setup and adjust for the détente in the locking mechanism (the motor flips down to prevent someone from simply lifting the door open). Note, I would do them again, but it is better to have the electrical outlet on the wall or ceiling right above the garage door than it is to have it in the middle of the garage which is the more customary location. I had an unfinished garage and was able to easily add another above the door. Note, the I-drive is also a HELL of a lot quieter than a chain or belt drive. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Also, the I-drive motors and gear box should be taken apart and greased every now and then. I didn't, and had to replace them a lot sooner than expected. The screw gear just wears out faster than a chain/belt. Especially when they get hot and the grease disappears. [/QUOTE]
