Those Wayne Daltons look pretty good and flush out of the way.
That will definitely be a consideration next time around.

Yep...sadly, WD is no longer available. The pic above is from 10 years back and I had three of them. (another door on the opposite end)
Since then, I had troubles with one of them and couldn't find parts anymore. I replaced the one on the left with a Liftmaster wall mounted opener. The WD's are fast...prob twice the speed of the Liftmaster.

The clearance for the cars was the biggest reason for the WD's....the Liftmaster does the same.
No overhead motor and chain/belt.

Ended up with a Chamberlin B970, normally $245, found it on sale for $195.
Installed it, is working nicely. The date on my Genie screw drive was Jan. 1994. I remember putting it up, I knew it was a long time ago but didn’t realize it was that long ago.

Seems like a heck of a deal with all the goodies. Heck I think I spent close to $100 just adding all the MyQ stuff to our older opener! Hope you get almost 30 years out of this one too.

I put a Liftmaster side mount in for the same reason as Steve, lift etc.
It’s still going strong at my ex’s house abs I will be adding two of them to my house soon. |

The model name is Pro-Park 7 because it's rated capacity is 7K lbs. In the pic, the car could go up another foot easily, but then I'm approaching the ceiling. Best purchase I ever made. I paid $1800 for it...they're prob more now. Also, the thing can be easily moved from one stall to another with the included casters.

I’d kill to have a ceiling high enough for a lift. Alas, I’m a couple feet short.
I even looked into raising the rafters, but just wasn’t feasible. |

^^^ What's your ceiling height?
Mine is 10ft...I could get by with 9ft. with my lift.

^^^ Yeah, that would be iffy. Esp if you were using it for a parking spot for a full size vehicle.

By my measurements, even an old 911 and 914 wouldn’t fit.
