Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain PD752D 3/4-Horsepower Heavy-Duty Premium Chain Drive Garage Door Opener
Customer Review: best investment
Summary: 5 Stars
had bought a 1/2 hp garage door opener 3 years ago, but in the middle of the frigid chicago winters, it was not powerful enough to open the garage door. I replaced it with this 3/4 hp garage door opener & even with the record cold temps this winter (40+ days in a row below freezing), the garage door opened without fail - absolutely the best purchase i could have made - it is also very quiet - when i first got it, i actually had to get out and check to make sure the door opened because i could not hear itCustomer Review: Chamberlain chain drive is a quality product
Summary: 4 Stars
After getting a quote from my local garage door installer to put in a new garage door opener, I decided to do it myself. He wanted $1200. The directions were written well and I was able to use the mounting brackets from my old unit. I also used the existing wiring so that only took a few minutes. The biggest surprise was that when I tested it, it was super quiet. I have a really heavy wood sectional garage door, and you can barely hear it opening. Took me a few hours but I saved a ton of money.Customer Review: Powerful opener
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked around and did some research and decided to buy the Chamberlain.
The installation was very easy since I used some of the hardware from my old door opener, even though I really took my time (total of 6 hours)and installed it by myself. Instructions were written out very clearly so you cannot get confused. I had this new opener for 3 months and its performance is outstanding, it is very quiet and lifts the door without any problems although the door is all wood and is very heavy.
Customer Review: Just a few tricks installing this
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a great product and get the 3/4 HP model. Took a little effort to install. There are a few tricks installing this.
1. Need more and stronger mounting brackets. I had to buy a few from Home Depot and cut them to fit.
2. Need more lag screws to go with the brackets.
3. Had to buy an automatic Garage Door Closer from Amazon (Xceltronix)
4. Use levels and triangle to make sure things are level and plumb. Wish I had a laser level.
Customer Review: Prepare for frustration

The opener works until the two electric eyes are misaligned, which is almost always. You get in your car, exit the garage, push the remote, and the door won't close. You have to get out and align the electric eyes. Hopefully, it's not cold and raining outside. There is no way to override the electric eyes, either. The last time I tried to realign the electric eyes, one of them broke. I had to tape it back onto the holder. If you buy this product, I wish you luck.
