Steve and I think alike. That chain snaps and I just replaced mine with another chain drive. I have never seen a garage door opener like the one posted.
Steve....I have two of those exact openers in my shop. I love them BUT you need to have someone who KNOWS what they are doing on the install.
Problems I've had were install related. The openers are very quiet and work very well. This setup uses cables that run along the vertical rails and the cable winds on two small drums. ANY binding or slack in the cables leads to a wrestling match with the cables...I really like it when it's 10 degrees out and this happens....lol
I went with these units because I needed room at the ceiling area. Now that the bugs are worked out I'm happy. I'll see if I can find some pics.
BTW... sorry I haven't gotten back to you with the "Camaro in the snow pics" thing. My father just gave us a little health scare and he just got out of the hospital. I write it up and ship it off soon.

I have a Liftmaster PREMIER dealer doing the install... and install is pricy so it had better be right. lol
$650 installed.

I have two installed. I definitely prefer them over the standard ceiling mounts. I had top of the line ceiling mounts before and I thought they were good. This unit is even more quiet than my previous standard openers. No problems getting my door up quickly and I have a heavy double steel door.
The best part is that once it closes, it deadbolts the garage door automatically by an electric solenoid. I highly recommend it. I still have to plumb the wiring, LOL.

Nice! Makes me feel better hearing others that like the opener. This will make it easy for me to do a t-bar ceiling down the line.
