October, 2009 -- Overhead Door Corporation, a leading manufacturer of overhead doors and openers for residential, commercial and industrial construction applications, today announced the introduction of the Legacy® 800 Belt garage door opener. The Legacy® 800 Belt garage door opener provides very quiet and smooth operation and powerful, reliable performance.

"The Legacy® 800 Belt offers a DC motor and belt drive, setting the standard for smooth and quiet operation," said David Shelton, senior product manager of residential openers for Overhead Door Corporation. "Homeowners can enjoy the convenience of a quiet, powerful opener that requires little or no maintenance."

Overhead Door's Legacy 800 Garage Door Opener

The Legacy® 800 Belt garage door opener features a ½ HPc Power Plus DC motor that operates quietly and at variable speeds for soft start and stop, resulting in less wear and tear on the garage door, and is powerful enough to operate heavy garage doors. Its effortless limit setting and reliable frequency range ensure consistent operation. The Legacy® 800 Belt is compatible with Car2U® and HomeLink® in-car universal remote systems, and has additional remote and accessory options.

The Legacy® 800 Belt garage door opener features premium safety elements such as the Safe-T-Beam® System that stops and reverses the closing door if an object passes through the infrared beam. The system's self-diagnostic functions alert homeowners of improper operations, pinpoint specific problems and help identify solutions. The Legacy® 800 Belt garage door opener also includes a two 60-watt bulb lighting system for brighter lighting in the homeowner's garage. The opener's CodeDodger® Access Security System activates a new access code from 4.3 billion combinations each time the remote control is used to prevent piracy of the radio signal that opens the garage door.

The Legacy® 800 Belt garage door opener will be available through Overhead Door's nationwide network of Ribbon® distributors in October 2009.
