Wayne-Dalton Garage Door Openers & Z-Wave Home Control
Innovation in design, quality and safety that far exceeds industry standards
Wayne-Dalton has been a trusted name in residential garage door openers since 1954. By maintaining a commitment to exceed industry standards for innovation in design, quality, and safety, Wayne-Dalton has become a world leader in the garage door and garage door opener industry.
Wayne-Dalton's game-changing TorqueMaster™ counterbalance system eliminates the need for exposed springs, making TorqueMaster idrive garage door openers both more attractive and far safer than traditional garage door openers. Even installation is safer - installers don't have to wind springs with a steel rod, or manually lift the door onto a horizontal track; they can simply wind enclosed springs with an electric drill or screw gun.
Home installation of a Wayne-Dalton garage door opener requires the homeowner to first determine what kind of springs their current garage door opener utilizes.
- Extension Springs: are visible on both sides of the garage door track.
- Torsion Springs: exposed springs coiled around the steel bar that extends from your opener.
TorqueMaster Springs: are contained inside the steel bar that extends from your opener and are therefore not visible.
| Spring Sysytem | iDrive | Classicdrive |
| Extension Springs | Not compatible | 3018, 3018DLX, 3018-Z, 3522 |
| Torsion Springs | Torsion | 3018, 3018DLX, 3018-Z, 3522 |
| TorqueMaster Springs | TorqueMaster | 3018, 3018DLX, 3018-Z, 3522 |
If your current system is compatible with both idrive and Classicdrive, the following comparison chart highlights the major distinguishing features between the two.
| I-drive | Classicdrive |
| Wall-mount (above the garage door) | Ceiling-mount |
| Door requires balancing | Easier to install |
| Higher price range | Lower price range |
| Advanced technology | Basic |
| Quieter | More durable (better for heavy wooden doors) |
| All-wireless accessories (including light kit) | Wired Wall Station and built-in light |
If you chose an idrive opener, purchase the model that corresponds to your garage door opener's spring system.
If you chose a Classicdrive, use the following comparison chart to help you narrow down your preference:
