Wayne Dalton garage door openers

There are two styles of Wayne Dalton garage door openers that you can choose from – the ceiling mount or the wall mount. The wall mount door openers are an innovation from Wayne Dalton that eliminates the belts, chains, screw drives and tracks that clutter up the ceiling of a garage. These are engineered to work on Wayne Dalton garage doors and are called iDrive openers. iDrive is the most technologically advanced system for garage door openers. It mounts directly to the wall above the garage door. The torsion openers in this system can be used with sectional or wood doors that use torsion counterbalance springs. This system also includes more safety features that regular garage door openers do not have. 

When you install this type of garage door opener, you still need to have cable snubbers, or cable drum wraps, to keep the door counterbalanced. This prevents the cables from unspooling if the door detects an obstruction. The operating frequency is 372 MHz and the iDrive operating system does not have to installed above the center of the door. You can install it at any point along the TorqueMaster tube, but you do have to make sure that you have enough disconnect cable to hang at least 6 feet off the ground on the right side of the door. The power cord that comes with this system is 6 feet long, but you can also get a 15 feet extender cord.  

There are no width limitations for installing the type of opener, but the door cannot be higher than 8 feet and must weigh less than 225 pounds. When you first install the opener, you need to run the install routine to make sure the door is operating properly and that you do not need to make any adjustments.
