GARAGE DOOR OPENERS

Welcome to our web site about garage door openers. We installed our first garage door opener in
1973 on Staten Island and since then we have installed not only hundreds or thousands of garage door
openers but tens of thousands of opener. Garage door opener are usually called GDO. The most
known brands of gdos are Sears Craftsman, Liftmaster, Chamberlain and Genie. The best value
opener for your dollar is the Sears Craftsman opener. When you buy a opener it is a good idea to have
the place where you buy it to have them install it. With Sears not only do they install with there own sub
contractors but it is serviced by there own service department. When you buy a gdo with installation with
whats in the box is included in installation, if you need a door brace or any thing else thats optional.
Below is a explanation of additional parts if needed. Always remember all a gdo does is do what you
do manually it does electrically. A gdo will make your door last longer because the door opens and
close at the same speed with out slamming it up or down.
Door Brace; a door brace is needed if you have a steel door, aluminum door, fiberglass door or a vinyl
door. A door brace should run full width of the door. This keeps the door from bending in the center from
being pulled and pushed by the gdo. It will not keep the door from bending if the door malfunctions from
broken springs, broken cables, rusted or binding roller or anything else that keeps the door from
opening and closing properly.
Finished ceiling bracket is needed if you have a sheetrock ceiling this is what the opener brackets
attach to.
High ceiling brackets are needed if the brackets in the box can not reach the ceiling from the opener
head. Usually if from the top of the door to the ceiling is more than 32ins you will need high ceiling
brackets.
These are the main items which can change the scope of the installation.
