[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3437783, member: 15054"] I love simple and went with another chain drive when my opener died this year after a couple decades of service. I still have the big all wood panel 16 foot single door and 2 coil springs. I wanted the bare bones 1 remote and no fancy stuff. Chamberlain 045ACT. I put 2 in my rent house the year before and they both work great.. way quieter than the old chain drive. Friend installed a screw drive and a chain drive in his house .. just testing the 2 side by side. In 4 years he has replaced the plastic puck 2 times. That is what he called it .. It rides on that screw for the screw drive. His door is opened and closed about 10 times a day. Light single 8 foot doors. Not that the weight really matters much as the springs if set right will remove the weight. My door opener on the 16 foot in my house stated 1/2 HP equivalent. Equivalent :) I do not care it works and the one I had was same brand and 1/2 HP. I taped the safety sensors together staring at each other and attached them on the ceiling next to the opener. I hate those things. Kind of like a cell phone..Not needed in my world. [/QUOTE]
