I had this problem a couple years ago, it sounds like the sprocket assembly needs replaced. The sprocket that the chain rides on I believe is made of matel, but the splines are made of synthetic plastic and wear out over time. I think it cost me around $100 for the repairmen to replace the part, and he also balance the door as part of the service. Keep us informed of the out come. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Monitor" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 8:25 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] garage door openers
