Thanks for the info. Those things were quite a bit more than the conventional openers last time I looked. I wanted to hear someone had a good experience with them.
I really need to replace the door on my detached garage, it's old, heavy and honked up. I almost never close it. I'm a DIY guy on most things and had wondered if I could install a garage door myself? While considering doing the door install myself I saw those iDrive openers and wondered if I could do the whole thing? Probably up for the door...if it comes with decent instructions. The iDrive? I don't know. Might have to have that done.

FWIW, Lowe's jobbed out the install. The guy who installed the doors REALLY knew what he was doing and the two doors took him about five hours. There was some old openers and other detritus that had to be removed so that may have impacted install time.
I DYI almost everything on my farm, but I learned years ago that there are jobs you simply cannot beat a trademans at...I'm hiring some Menonites to recover (with metal) and fix two old tobacco barns simply because of the time factor. It would not be difficult, just a time hump.
All the best.
