Brand:Wayne-Dalton
Located in:Building-Remodeling, Hardware, Garage Door Hardware
Engineered to work on Wayne-Dalton pinch-resistant steel doors that are equipped with the TorqueMaster™ counterbalance system. Look for a sealed tube with the springs inside to identify TorqueMaster.

The idrive™ opener is the most technologically advanced design in the industry. It mounts directly to the wall above your door!


Better By Design

  • Since the unit is mounted directly to the spring shaft, there is no unsightly rail stretched across your garage.
  • The idrive opener is self-contained in a sleek housing mounted directly to the wall, above the door. It’s practically invisible!
  • Only one inch of headroom is required above the TorqueMaster counterbalance system (1-1/2” for torsion counterbalances).
  • Quieter Operation - The opener mounts to the wall instead of the ceiling, so it doesn’t transmit noise and vibration directly to any room above.
  • Interference with support beams is eliminated.
  • Five-function wireless wall station controls door open-close, light on-off, programmable pet opening, 10-second closing safety delay and door set up routine.
  • No operating arm attached to the door eliminates stress on the door itself, reducing the chance of door section failure.
  • The emergency release handle is easily accessible to the side of the door, out of the way of SUVs and van roof racks.
  • Wireless security light automatically lights with opener activation and stays on five minutes for safer, easier night entry into the garage and home. Light also operates manually from wall station.
  • 3-button remote-control transmitter activates up to six different doors or devices. Transmitter mounts on visor or attaches to keychain.
  • Soft Start/Soft Stop Control - This control smoothly opens the door as it starts, and gently lowers the door as it closes. This feature greatly decreases wear and tear on the door, and eliminates noises due to jolting starts and closes.
  • Automatic Travel Limit - The system will automatically compensate for changes in temperature and floor level variation to allow the door to seal properly. This eliminates having to adjust the door yourself.
  • Compatible with all HomeLink® Systems.


Beauty

  • No bulky opener rail provides a neater, cleaner look.
  • The opener is self-contained in a sleek housing mounted to the wall, above the door. It’s practically invisible!
  • If idrive is installed with a pinch resistant door, no photo eyes are required, eliminating unsightly wiring that runs from the power head to the photo eyes on conventional openers. (idrive torsion models are shipped with photo eyes)
  • The wireless wall station and wireless, keyless entry pad also eliminate unsightly wiring that normally hangs on the wall for conventional openers.
  • Since the release handle is located to the side of the door, there is no dangling release cord in the middle of the garage, eliminating clutter.
  • No operator arm means there is no large metal attachment going from the trolley rail to the door, providing a cleaner look.


Safety & Security

  • When combined with a Wayne-Dalton pinch resistant door, it becomes a UL® Listed door and opener system.
  • The opener does not exert a “driving” force on the door to close it, as with typical openers. Instead, it actually senses any unusual force as the door moves. This highly-sensitive design creates a system that provides the maximum in garage door safety, thereby avoiding injury to family, friends, pets, or damage to vehicles.
  • Door Closing Delay Button - Gives the user 10 seconds to exit the garage safely before the door starts to close.
  • Active Door Position Sensing Capability - Constantly monitors position of moving door in case a quick reversal is necessary.
  • Rolling Access Codes - Protects families from thieves who use sophisticated technology to steal personal access codes. Makes "code-grabbing" impossible by automatically programming in a new access code each time the opener is activated.
  • Energy-Efficient Security Light - Automatically lights when the opener is activated. Stays on for five minutes for safer, easier entry into the garage and home.
  • Photoelectric Safety Sensors are not needed if the opener is installed with a pinch resisant door, eliminating problems from their misalignment and unsightly wiring. (idrive torsion models are shipped with sensors)


Additional Features

  • Programmable Pet Opening Button — Opens the door to a pre-selected height between 6" and 30" to allow pets to easily move in and out. This feature is also beneficial for garage ventilation.
  • Wireless security light plugs into any outlet in line of sight with opener.


Warranty

  • A Lifetime Limited warranty for the motor against defects in materials and workmanship comes with each idrive™ opener. Other components also have extended limited warranties. See dealer for complete warranty details.

  • 5-function wall station
  • Energy efficient security light
  • (2) 3-button remote control transmitters

What a well kept secret!
By ScottyVerified Reviewer from Seattle, WA on 1/5/2008
Pros:
Easy to Install, Easy to understand, Sturdy Casing, Well organized
Cons:
None
Best Uses:
Convenience, Extremely quiet, Security
Describe Yourself:
Handyman
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This design is not only simple to install, but is far better than the standard chain drive opener. Approximately two hours from opening the box to clipping the remote to my visor.There are less moving parts, the sounds are minimal, and there is NO stress on the door itself. From an inventor myself, kudos to the designer!

I'm very happy with this opener, but you must, MUST, have every detail of your door lined up and working properly for the best results. I had to have the owner of Metal Systems Plus come back and adjust the tension on my torsion springs to make everything work right (without strain)

Worth Every Penny
By RIKVerified Purchaser from PA on 4/7/2007
Pros:
High Quality
Cons:
Expensive
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This opener is easily the best unit I have ever seen. It is so quiet that I can't hear it operating from inside the house. It runs much smoother than the chain drive & screw drive units I have had in the past. I'll never use another brand of opener again.

NEVER AGAIN
By Truly disappointed from Peoria, Arizona on 2/21/2007
Pros:
Easy to Install
Cons:
Breaks, Poorly engineered, Too Sensitive, Unreliable, Very tempermental
Best Uses:
Good concept
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good concept and design, but poorly executed on. I have two of them and have had nothing but problems from the get go. They were meticuously installed and still they fail. Motor spontaneously disengages from drive mechanism while door is moving. They have no explanation for this. Motor control board burnt up on the other after one month. Control circut seems to be extremely sensitive. The doors continue to reverse direction at the ground even after repeated adjustments according to the install guide.

 
Best opener made!
By Jeg from Ankeny Iowa on 2/12/2007
Pros:
Easy to Install
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The best opener I've ever installed. We installed one at my sons house and my daughters is next. Easy to follow instructions and a quality product overall. It is the smoothest operating unit I've ever seen. Would reccomend it highly!
