I just replaced a chain drive with a belt drive from Home Depot about
3 months ago, and it's whisper quite. Couldn't be happier. The newer
openers have some cool features, like a motion sensor light. Mine
also has the temp and time on the control, and came with a remote
opener that can be programmed with a code, so you could open your
garage from the outside.
