Garage Door Opener Installation

New openers sized to the door, mounted solidly and set correctly.

About this service

A new opener should be quieter than the one it replaces and sized for the door it lifts. Weight, height, headroom and how close the garage sits to a bedroom all point toward a different unit.

We install belt, chain and wall-mount openers, mount the rail and motor to solid structure rather than to loose ceiling boards, run the safety sensors and wall control properly, and set travel and force to the specific door.

Warning signs

The garage has no opener and the door is lifted by hand
The existing opener is loud enough to hear through the house
The unit lacks working photo-eye safety sensors
The opener struggles with a heavier insulated door

How It Works

The garage door opener installation process

Size the unit

Door weight, height and headroom determine the drive type and horsepower class.

Mount to structure

The rail, header bracket and motor are fixed to solid framing, with bracing added where needed.

Wire controls and sensors

Photo eyes, wall control and any keypad are installed and routed cleanly.

Program and test

Travel, force and remotes are set, and the door is cycled repeatedly with a safety reversal test.
