Hi y'all,
Just purchased a new house with a two car attached garage. I have plans for a lift down the road as I have OK height in the ceiling, like 10'2". It's better than the single car 7' ceiling I came from. Anyway, I want to use a lack shaft door opener as the space overhead is fairly valuable to me.
Come to find our the build used Wayne Dalton torque master springs rather than torsion bar. I could use iDrive, but some folks say it's crappy and not a good solution, besides the fact that it's discontinued. So I've been toying with the idea of converting to torsion bar. Anyone see an issue with it? Would it be worth it? Any advantages to the torque master? The door weighs about 390 lbs.
And of course my other thought here since I just dumped a **** load of cash to close this pig, what's a range this might/could cost? It's a simple side by side two car, 8ft tall sectional door and 20ft wide. Am I lookin at $500? $1500? few grand?
TIA,
Bill
