Chamberlain PD210D Power Drive 1/2-Horsepower Security-Plus Chain-Drive Garage Door Opener, Black and White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I installed two of these chain driven Chamberlains for two doors.My wife was not available to help me with the install (she is not easy, affordable or quiet [just kidding, dear]).However, I was able to do them both myself with the help of a 6 ft ladder, a Makita cordless, a socket set, and a screwdriver.

It took me about 38 minutes to assemble the first one and 20 minutes for the second one.After that, each unit required about an hour to attach brackets and mount.A fairly easy job that required some skill.I needed to purchase the screws/bolts required to mount the unit to the support (they give most but not all screws/bolts as every garage is different).My garage required installing brackets to the supports as well.

I like my wires neat, so I purchased an Arrow electric staple gun - a good move (the one I bought can handle rounded and squared staples along with one size of nail).Installing the sensors is required, and putting up all of the keypads and sensor wires for both units took about 40-50 minutes.A piece of cake job (with a staple gun), and the sensors mounted easily on their brackets.

A light bulb and some tweaking are required (15 minutes each unit).Adjusting the door up and down limits is a trial and error method of rotating two screws to the correct position (opening and closing the door to make sure it goes high/low enough).I didn't have to tamper with the force adjustments, but I don't have heavy wooden garage doors.

I helped my buddy install his Chamberlain Primo Belt Driver unit, and I honestly don't think it's that much quieter to justify the extra expense.However, my garage isn't connected to my house, so I don't hear it.It's probably worth the extra $ if a main room is right above the garage.It's not a huge difference, though.

5 stars as it's a great buy for the money.

** Added ** - I've had these for about four years now, and no problems.They work work well with the Security+ keychain remotes that I've purchased.
