Garage door openers
I would appreciate some opinions on garage door openers.
I presently have a genie of indeterminate age that is starting to fail. Its a screw drive consumer model with the three part track bolted together. The local door service I called suggests replaceing it with a Liftmaster, either chain or belt driven. They tell me that the quality of the Genie has gone down in the last few years and they no longer carry Genie. Questions: 1) Is the motor on the Genie (which seems to have become intermittant) easily obtainable and easily replaceable? Should I first replace the starting capacitor? It seems to start OK, raises the door a foot or two and stops. The adjustment for sensitivity (is that the right term) is at max. 2) Whats the dependability of Liftmasters in general? Between screw drive, chain drive & belt drive which is the best and most relieable? I only have experience with screw drives.
