idrive for Torsion springs idrive® for Torsion
"Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?"

The idrive® for Torsion residential garage door openers are designed for sectional steel or wood garage doors that use traditional torsion counterbalance springs. To identify torsion springs, look for exposed springs coiled around a steel bar above your door.

As the crowning addition to our complete garage door opener system, the idrive garage door opener sets new standards for garage door safety, appearance, and technology.

By mounting the idrive garage door opener on the wall just above your door, we eliminate the belt, chain, or screw drive, along with the rail that clutters your garage ceiling. That means less noise and vibration are transferred to adjoining living areas. According to independent tests, the idrive residential garage door opener is quieter than any chain drive opener you can buy.

UL Listed - Wayne-Dalton is the first and only manufacturer to earn the UL 1998 Listing Mark for garage door openers.

Integrated Operating System - The opener does not exert a driving force on the door to close it, as do traditional openers. Instead, it actually senses any unusual force as the door moves. This highly-sensitive design creates a system that provides the maximum in garage door safety, thereby helping to avoid injury to family, friends, pets, or damage to vehicles.

Door Closing Delay Button - Gives the user 10 seconds to walk out the garage safely before the door starts to close.

Active Door Position Sensing Capability - Constantly monitors position of moving door in case a quick reversal is necessary.

Electronic Systems Monitoring - Automatically monitors for operating malfunctions, alerts homeowner with a flashing light.



Maximum Security   Maximum Security
Secure Locking - The idrive® garage door opener makes forced entry nearly impossible as it has an automatic door lock. At the end of every door close cycle, the motor rotates down into a locked position on the garage door. If an attempt is made to lift the door, its weight causes an out-of-balance condition to the springs, rotating the motor even tighter against the door.

Rolling Access Codes - The idrive® garage door opener uses sophisticated rolling code technology to prevent code stealing. Every time you operate your opener, it resets the access code. With literally billions of combinations, it is virtually impossible for a thief to steal your code and break into your home with a code-grabbing device.

Energy-Efficient Security Light - Automatically lights when the garage door opener is activated. Stays on for five minutes for safer, easier entry into the garage and home. It can also be turned on independently of the opener itself for lighting convenience.


Maximum Convenience   Maximum Convenience
Streamlined Design - Since the idrive garage door opener is mounted directly to the wall above the door, there is no unsightly rail stretched across your garage. Also, if your garage has ceiling beam support interference, you won't have to cut ceiling joists to attach the rail, as in the case with traditional openers.

Soft Start/Soft Stop Control - Rarely found in other openers, this control smoothly opens the door as it starts, and gently lowers the door as it closes. This feature greatly decreases wear and tear on the door, and eliminates noises due to jolting starts and closes.

Automatic Travel Limit - The system will automatically compensate for changes in temperature and floor level variations to allow the door to seal properly. This eliminates having to adjust the door yourself.
