The Premium Whisper Drive® Plus with EverCharge® Standy Power System shown at the left is the Chamberlain garage door openers top model.
It features a DC motor with 3/4 horsepower comparable rating and a belt drive that is super quiet. The belt is constructed like a steel belted tire, reinforced with flexible steel cords for a long trouble free life.
This model comes standard with the EverCharge® standby system that will operate the garage door opener for 20 cycles over a 24 hour period during a power outage. When the power comes back on, the system automatically recharges. All safety and security features also operate from the EverCharge® standby system ensuring your family is protected. The power-head also features smooth start and smooth stop to reduce the noise levels if you have living space above or nearby the unit.
Other features include the auto force-sensing technology that constantly monitors temperature and changes the garage door-force to adjust for floor height and door track movement. There is 200 watts of lighting at the power-head with adjustable light time delay and the unit is HomeLink® compatible.
The Protector System® sensors project an invisible light beam across the plane of the garage door opening and automatically reverses the door if anything interrupts the beam while the door is traveling downward. The sensing technology will stop the door from closing if contact is made with a person or object.
Security+® anti-burglary technology assures a new code is sent every time the remote control is used. PosiLock® theft protection assures that once the garage door is closed, it stays locked unless you send a new valid remote signal or use the manual release handle.

I was pleased that I was able to easily find the proper tall storage cabinet for my garage. I needed lockable storage to keep my toddler away from sharp tools and solvents that my husband stores. Garagetips-101 solved my problem!

I love the detail in your garage building pages. They helped me understand how to engineer a foundation for a garage we are planning that our building department will approve. I had the inspector go to your pages and review what I was talking about. Now, I am studying the wall framing sections, as we plan to build it ourselves this fall. Thank you so much for the great information.

Great stuff on wall framing. I never really understood the on-and-off spacing concepts for the wall studs until I read your explanations.
