The PD752D 3/4-Horsepower Garage Access System At a Glance: Whisper-quiet, smooth operation "Security+" rolling-code technology PosiLock theft protection Industrial strength power for super-heavy doors Two remote controls and multi-function wall-mount panel

Multi-function 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.

Included in-vehicle remote controls are HomeLink compatible.

Smooth Opening and Closing of Even the Heaviest Doors
Many garage openers simply cannot accommodate large, heavy, or antique garage doors. In the past, owners of older homes had to manually lift and open their doors themselves or had to park elsewhere to avoid the hassle.

Reliable, Whisper-Quiet Operation
Winner of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, the PD752D garage-door opener is the perfect solution for hard-to-manage doors. Backed by a lifetime warranty, the finely-tuned, yet ruggedly designed 3/4-horsepower motor with industrial strength chain provides the synergy needed to open heavy garage doors quickly and quietly.

In fact, thanks to its exclusive Motor Vibration Isolation System (MVIS), the PD752D is whisper quiet--no clanking, crunching, or squeaking mechanical noises as the door opens and closes.

Additionally, an enclosed gear case provides continuous lubrication and protection for longer life and smoother operation.

Fast, Easy Installation in Just 60 Seconds
Quick and easy to install, this system arrives with five railing sections that assemble into one long piece. Clear, easy-to-read instructions guide you through the process step by step--in just one minute you'll have a completely assembled unit.

For added convenience, the PD752D has a light that delivers 200 watts and has an adjustable time delay so you can enjoy illumination when you need it.

Advanced Safety and Security Features Protect Against Accidents and Theft
The PD752D is equipped with safety features that protect users from accidental closings, as well as from break-ins and theft. First and foremost, auto force-sensing technology constantly monitors the garage door area and adjusts forces according to temperature fluctuations, floor height, and door track movement.

Additionally, the included protector system features safety sensors with Rapid-Snap brackets that project an invisible light beam across the door opening and automatically reverse the door if anything interrupts the beam while the door is descending. For added peace of mind, sensing technology will stop the door from closing if contact is made with a person or object and opener lights will turn on automatically if the infrared beam is broken.

To guard against someone discovering your secret code, the PD752D's Security+ anti-burglary protection uses rolling technology and sends a new code every time you use your remote control. For an additional layer of protection, PosiLock theft protection ensures that once the door is closed, it stays locked. An added bonus, a manual release handle can be used in case of power failure.

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); all required mounting brackets; rails; hardware; two three-button remote controls with batteries; and safety labels and literature.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Very quiet, lifts even our very heavy door, December 29, 2005

This review is from: Chamberlain PD752D 3/4-Horsepower Heavy-Duty Premium Chain Drive Garage Door Opener (Tools & Home Improvement)

We used to have a 1/3 HP garage door opener, and it gave us nothing but problems. We have a metal folding garage door with wood panels on the outside. Whenever there was overnight moisture, we would not be able to open the garage door. The door would become soaked when it rained, and it was very heavy.

Not a problem for this 3/4 HP garage door opener from Chamberlain. It opens our heavy garage door every time, and it's also very quiet. No loud mechanical or electrical noises when it's operating.

The box that it came in is not that large. It includes the railings in sections. The rail comes together from the pieces to form one permanent long piece. At first, we thought it would be very difficult to install this opener, but in fact it was very easy. We took our time to make sure it was installed right, and the total time was about 1 hour. The instructions were clear and the installation was surprisingly a breeze.

The only thing is that be aware that not all "universal" remote openers purchased elsewhere will work this opener. This opener uses the special SecurityPlus technology, so you should make sure any additional openers you purchase supports this. It does come with two remote controls though.

Highly recommended opener- don't make the mistake of buying a 1/2 HP opener and installing it only to find out that you need a stronger opener to open your garage door.

This review is from: Chamberlain PD752D 3/4-Horsepower Heavy-Duty Premium Chain Drive Garage Door Opener (Tools & Home Improvement)

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.

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.
