I came home to a door about 75% shut. When I try to open or

take it down and look at it, but I'm pretty sure I'm in the
market for a new unit.


What's good out there?

Go to Sears and pick up a belt drive unit.

It looks like the belt drive is sold to those with noise issues.

Noise isn't an issue for me. I live alone, so when the door is
moving I'm usually in the car. And if I'm not in the car, I'm in
the garage, not the bed.

Is there some other advantage to the belt drive besides how much
noise it makes when it's running?
