The garage people, came the next day, replaced both springs in an hour and did a beautiful job. Therefore, I pulled it off myself (because I was also the one that installed it). I happen to love it, so I don't want them to mock around and risk breaking it. They feel threatened by this new garage opening technology (see my " Wayne Dalton idrive Garage Door Opener" article).

Many garage door specialists haven't seen the idrive before.

That same night I came home to pull off the Wayne-Dalton idrive garage door opener. But when Monday came around, I made an appointment to have someone come fix the garage door. The next few days after Thanksgiving were shot, because I figured that everyone would be off for Thanksgiving. Now that we are exercising them at least four times a day, I'm not surprised that one snapped. They should be lubricated every few months with silicone spray. It's most likely that the old springs are subject to fatigue. After we converted it back into a garage, we left the old springs on the torsion bar. So the garage door hadn't been used for years. When we purchased the house, its garage had been converted into a room by the seller. Of course the idrive garage opener can't open an unbalanced door. The door is no longer counter-balanced and is very heavy. After losing one of the two torsion-springs. But after parking the car on the driveway, entering the house through the front door, and examining the garage door, I found that the torsion spring had snapped.

I had thought that the remote lost its programming. My wife and I came home the night before Thanksgiving and the garage door wouldn't open.
