OverDrive™ Welcomes You Home Twice As Fast

Overhead Door Corporation, dedicated to providing the most innovative, dependable garage door opening systems, sets a new standard with the launch of the Overhead Door OverDrive. The amazingly quiet OverDrive is designed to open twice as fast as conventional garage door openers, but closes gently.

Its rapid opening speed, 14 inches per second on average, is derived from a powerful, super-duty direct-current (DC) motor that delivers exceptional torque while generating very little noise. Keeping safety uppermost in mind, the Overhead Door OverDrive gently closes at the standard rate of seven inches per second, on average.

The OverDrive is the latest engineering innovation from the originator of garage door industry, features a powerful 1/2 horsepower DC motor that delivers the company's quietest ever screw-drive opener. The opener is equipped with a gentle start and stop feature for smooth operation and reduced door wear. The polymer-lined rail surrounding the screw drive eliminates metal-to-metal contact between moving parts, enhancing its dependable performance even in regions with low temperature extremes.

Innovative product characteristics include two incandescent light sockets on a 4-1/2 minute timer strategically placed on the underside of the opener, which directs greater illumination throughout the garage. The hinged light lens cover can be easily opened without tools for maintenance, access or cleaning.

The Overhead Door OverDriver's exclusive one-piece door-sensing technology will automatically identify if the opener has been installed on a sectional garage door or on a swing-up type one-piece door upon the initial operation cycle. Installation on a sectional door will allow the activation of the twice-as-fast speed feature, while the opener will lift a one-piece door at a slower rate of 5 inches per second for safety purposes.
