| 15 year old 1/3 HP Liftmaster garage door opener.
1 options: Sprocket assembly can be replaced for $165. another option: new Chamberlain 1/3 HP liftmaster unit can be installed for approx. $350 installed. I'm leaning towards new unit, but I don't know whether a new sprocket assembly will give me the equivalent of a new life expectancy on the unit. Thanks for your thoughts. |

| A new sprocket assembly will certainly not give you a new life expectancy but if you do it yourself it will be about $40.00. The part number is 41C4220A and it comes with instructions. One big plus for having it replaced by a professional is that they will check your door. A lot of times it is a neglected door that causes the gear to fail. I don't know where you live but $350.00 for a 1/3 horse opener is a little on the steep side. I would call around. |

| We need to replace the Genie chain-drive door opener in our garage. My question is, do we have to replace it with another chain-drive opener, or could we get a different type? I realize this may be a stupid question, but I don't really know much about garage doors and openers |
