Wayne Dalton I drive garage door opener

[TowPro]

So I am looking at garage doors for my Dream Garage. Looks like I can afford the Wayne-Dalton 9100 series (still cheep looking inside). These have the torque type spring over the door, and I am looking at the I-Drive Door openers. Right now I can get a $65. 00 rebate on each door if I buy the opener and door together.



What do you guys think of the I-Drive opener.



I was also looking at one called hammelton (I think) at Lowes, and of course everybody sells Genia, but with the I drive it mounts right on the torque tube, without the need for hanging it in the middle of the ceiling.



I can't see one work as there special order through lowes.

I-Drive

NO, NO, NO, NO,NO,NO NO,!!!!!! do not go any where near that POS!!!! (saving you a lot of headaches) i bought a 9100 door and the I- drive from a reputable chain store. and did the install. ( It was installed correctly, the tech verified that. )

that things a disaster!! never worked from the start. had the Wayne Dalton dealer come out to check it and he said they refuse to even sell or work on them. . he removed it and installed a 1/2 hp belt drive in its place. took the I-Drive back and got money back guess what ? they had a huge cleearance sale on the I-drives! came back 2 days later and the one i returned was on the shelf :--) :--) ( i threw the thing in the box and thats the way it was on the shelf. )



Just trying to save you a LOT of grief, Scott



The reason there special order is the dont want to stock the thing, special orders can NOT be returned. .

PM me and i'll give you the name of the Wayne Dalton dealer here in lanc. and the'll give you the low down.

Re: I-Drive

Wow, I guess I have to strike up another dollar saved by TDR!





I almost went out and bought 3 of them.



the rebate of $65. 00 each door was only through Lows, now I can buy the doors for $30. 00 each less from Carter Lumber, and buy the belt drive opener which cost around $35. 00 less each. I just thought the I drive would be the hot setup, glad I asked.

I have a contractors special made by Wayne Dalton opener. (not the I drive). Although it works, I'd buy a Genie if I had a choice. Very few options for remotes with the Wayne Dalton.
