Why do you have the replace the doors? That seems odd

You basically have the doors, the track it rolls on, and the opener. Is the door actually damaged in some way?

I had to get a new opener a few months ago and they tried to sell me on the belt driven liftmaster also. I ended up just going with a more basic liftmaster model with the standard chain. I will say that it opens a lot faster than the cheap model that the home builders put in. But having more power means it is also louder, if that matters to you.
