Wayne-Dalton of Sacramento

I’ll never buy a Wayne Dalton iDrive garage door opener again. I was sold by the WD rep at Lowes several years ago that convinced me this new fangled operating system was the «bomb». Takes up less space, is quiet, etc. Well after several years of a finicky and problematic system it finally gave out completely and now I am going to have to put out almost a $ 1,000 to convert to a system that has a much more reliable mechanism backed up by a 15 year and lifetime warranty. I wish I had done more research on my purchase years ago. Things like internal vs external springs, (WD has springs internal in a tube that are really hard and thus expensive to repair). I dunno’, maybe they have redesigned ‘em but when my door stuck in the open position on a Saturday and the repair guy came out, he said these were the worst design ever and he is surprised it lasted as long as it did… most broke in the first 2 – 3 years of use… mine didn’t because I don’t have a car in the garage that requires me to open it everyday. Anyway… shop around… do your research and call an installer that has experience with lots of brands instead of being sucked in by the rep at a big box store on a Sunday.
