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

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

The PD210D 1/2-Horsepower
Garage Access System
At a Glance:

    "Security+" rolling-code technology
    Industrial-strength 1/2-horsepower motor
    PosiLock theft protection
    Safety sensors with Rapid-Snap brackets
    Remote control and multi-function wall-mount panel

Multifunction control panel
lets you turn on the lights or
open/lock garage door from inside.

Enclosed gear case provides continuous lubrication and protection for long life.
Safety sensors guard against accidents
by projecting an invisible light
across garage-door opening.

In-vehicle remote control
is HomeLink compatible.
Easy Garage Door Operation with Enhanced Security
Winner of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, the PD210D is a safe, secure, and easy-to-operate system that gives you quick and trouble-free access to your garage. Like all Chamberlain garage door openers, this model comes equipped with Security+ rolling technology that prevents someone from stealing the information your remote uses to communicate with your opener. With every push, the remote will transmit a brand new security code--one of 100 billion available, none of which will ever be repeated.
Additionally, PosiLock theft protection means that once the door is closed, it stays locked. The result is an extremely reliable level of security that ensures only authorized individuals have access to your garage.
Industrial Strength Motor for Long-Term, Dependable Performance
To ensure long-term, responsive performance, the PD210D features an industrial-strength 1/2-horsepower motor that produces more than enough lifting power for your single or double garage door.
Additionally, an enclosed gear case provides continuous lubrication and protection for long life and smooth operation. An added bonus, rugged, chain-driven construction provides superior, long-lasting dependability and durability, even after thousands of openings and closings.
Protects Cars, Pets, and Small Children
This PD210D has a system that protects against accidental closings, making it ideal for households with pets or small children. It uses sensors with Rapid-Snap brackets to project an invisible light beam across the garage door opening--the door will automatically reverse if anything interrupts the beam while the door is descending. For example, if you leave the tail end of your car in the path of the descending garage door, the door will stop moving before it can do damage to your vehicle.
For added peace of mind, the PD210D has lights that will automatically turn on when the infrared beam is broken, and a manual release lever means you can operate the door in a power outage.
Quick-Rail System for Fast and Easy Installation
Thanks to a quick-install rail system, the PD210D sets up in less than one minute, and it comes with clear, step-by-step instructions that guide you through the process.
For added convenience, this system delivers 100 watts of light with adjustable time delay, and includes a single-button remote control. It also comes with a multi-function wall-mount panel that allows you to control both the light and lock-out feature.
What's in the Box
Motor unit with light lenses; wall-mount door control; chain and cable in dispensing carton; Protector System (sending eye, receiving eye, two-conductor white and white/black bell wire attached); single-button remote with battery; all required mounting brackets; rails; hardware; and safety labels and literature.


A manual release lever means you can operate the door in a power outage.

Logitech WiLife Digital Video Security--Indoor Add-On Camera Review

Logitech WiLife Digital Video Security--Indoor Add-On Camera
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These cameras work very well as security devices and are reliable and easy to set up. I have two in place. I ordered this as an additional camera and the design has been changed. There is now a fan on the power unit of the camera which makes a noticible noise. This may not be a problem if the camera is placed out of the way somewhere but would be heard if it is in a public/ open area.

Honeywell HFT114B Oscillating Super-Turbo High-Performance 3-Speed Fan Review

Honeywell HFT114B Oscillating Super-Turbo High-Performance 3-Speed Fan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
pros:
-much better than a regular traditional fan. This one does that spiral thing with the wind tunnel effect. Its more effective than a regular fan, sends the breeze further out. Its still spread out enough as well, and you can set it to oscillate anyway.
-its quiet, since its not a big fan. Even on second highest speed its fairly quiet, and the noise it does make is pleasant, not distracting. On lowest setting can barely hear it. On highest setting its slightly loud, but i could sleep with it on anyway. Its just not a big sized fan, so its not going to get too loud.
-Cheap!
-decent looking.
-lightweight and very portable.

Cons:
-controls are on top of unit, so when you go to change the speed, sometimes you push the fan down and change its angle. Wish the controls were on the base instead. No biggie tho.

Keep in mind it IS on the small side. Its probably meant for a single small bedroom. Just over a foot high and wide. Base is narrow though (about 6 inches deep) it it will fit easily on any desk.

Cheap, good looking, looks like it might last for quite a while, solid, quiet, and very functional. Whats not to like? Now I'm ready for summer.

LiftMaster 3800 Residential Jackshaft Garage Door Opener Review

LiftMaster 3800 Residential Jackshaft Garage Door Opener
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I installed this LiftMaster 3800 opener in my garage over this past weekend.It took a couple of hours in total, not because the installation is terribly complicated but just because there's a lot of little things to do during the installation.The instructions are very thorough and accurate and the opener works extremely well.

When I got home last night, after using the opener for 3 days, I noticed that the light was no longer working.I checked the power to it, replaced the bulbs and attempted to reprogram it.Bottom line is that the light simply stopped responding to commands from the head unit and the wall-mounted control.Unlike conventional garage door openers the light is 'wireless' in that it receives commands to turn on and off remotely.You simply plug it into an outlet anywhere in the garage.This, evidently, was a scenario Chamberlain's customer service was not prepared for.Despite giving them my model number the representative could not come to grips with the fact that the light was not part of the motor assembly. After providing her the model number of the light itself we began to make progress.However, once we reached a point where there was no more troubleshooting to be done and the light still did not work there was an awkward silence.After about 10 minutes of this silence (though I could hear voices in the background) I asked if she was still there.She said yes and that she would need to talk to a supervisor.She did and the supervisor wanted me to 'hard wire' the wall mount to the motor assembly. She could not adequately explain to me what that meant.The wall control IS hard-wired to the motor, albeit with 30-feet of wire. All other functions of the wall control work so I knew that wasn't the problem.The motor assembly is 11-feet off the ground and I wasn't about to dig out the ladder, move the car and climb up there knowing full well that nothing I did to the motor assembly was going to fix that light.After multiple requests the supervisor refused to speak with me and they reluctantly agreed to replace the light.In total I had over an hour invested in that phone call.

Back to the review....I really wanted to ding the opener for my poor customer service experience.But that wouldn't be fair.With the exception of this light problem, I am so impressed with this opener that I need to give it 5 stars.

The opener is extremely quiet and smooth.I replaced a Craftsman chain-driven opener with this Liftmaster 3800 and the difference is like night and day.My bedroom is above my garage so it's important to have a quiet opener that is NOT mounted to the ceiling (which is obviously the bedroom floor).The door opens substantially faster than the conventional opener I replaced and slows to a graceful stop just before the preset travel limit. On the down cycle the door closes at the same rate as the old opener.

The standard package of features with the opener is outstanding.It comes with a nice, blue-backlit LCD wall controller that displays the time and temperature.The wall control gives you status messages and also contains a motion detector that turns on the lights when you enter the garage.You can also program new remotes using the wall control rather than having to climb up and hit the 'learn' button on the motor unit (though you could do that if you wanted to).The remote control that comes with the unit has nice, blue LEDs that illuminate when it senses that your hand is near it.This is great when you're fishing around your console in the dark for the remote.Last, the dead bolt feature is a nice added security option.

Installation is not complicated.The hardest part was installing the collar that connects the motor shaft to the torsion bar assembly.They use some sort of super-duper thread lock that makes it difficult to turn the bolts.They have Allen's heads so make sure you have a sturdy, hardened Allen's wrench.There is not a lot of room, either, so take the advice in the instructions and position the collar in a manner that allows you to get at all the bolts.The only tool required that the average handyman might not have is a 3/4" metal bit for drilling the dead bolt hole.That's a big bit and most drill bit sets only go up to 1/2".

Programming is simple if you follow the instructions.I easily programmed the door stops in a matter of minutes and it self-learns the force limits based on a full cycle of door operation.The opener is Homelink compatible and I programmed both my vehicles to operate the door without any trouble.

Last, a word to the wise, most accessories for the door start with the number "3".I ordered a keypad and keyfob remote for the door and both were incorrect.Just because a device says it's SECURITY + compatible doesn't mean it works with the 3800 opener.Make sure you get a device that works with SECURITY + and is also for openers with a PURPLE learn button.
