Our 12 year Thompson door with 1/2HP Genie screw drive is almost
noiseless. Each spring it gets a small squirt of screw lube and pivot
points on sectional door get lubed also. No signs of degradation like
the owner shows.

Now have a 7 year old Genie worm gear opener that is very noisy and a real
pain to lubricate every few months to try curtail the noise. Plan on
switching to either a chain or belt system figuring they both just have to
be better. Would appreciate comments from people that have a chain or belt
drive system
