The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I had the guy that installed the door put in an opener at the same time.  I just went and looked, its a Genie Pro Screw Drive.  The door and drive have been in for 8-10 years with no problems.

Go to HD, Tom, if the local store doesn't know how to set it up, I can help them. You can cash and carry a good belt drive, what I have, (I think they have them on sale for like 229 or something with the battery backup). And it can be installed for $99 or $119, something close to that. I assume Cali is the same as here.

Most stores don't know how to do it, but I do, lol. Cheaper than the door guys or even our own Funish and install guys get for the same opener.

Yeah, that's what I have too, Chamberlain. I like the Genie screw drive due to the lack of moving parts, transmissons and nylon gears, etc, but the belt drive is sooooo quiet. Can't even hear it opening from the laundry room!

But a huno install is much better than me doing it, lol. (Gotta have the garage cleaned out tho Tom, no boats!).
