Description
A sectional garage door rises in panels along a set of tracks and tucks up against the ceiling. Its opener mounts on the garage ceiling, in the center, and moves the door with a chain or belt rail. With the remote you open it from the car, and when you pull in, the opener turns on a courtesy light.
To install it, the door needs to be properly balanced: the springs carry the weight, and the opener only guides it. If the door feels heavy when you lift it by hand, the springs need to be adjusted or replaced first, a job for a technician because they're under a lot of tension. We also check the ceiling height, the rail length and that there's an outlet nearby.
A belt rail is quieter, ideal if there are bedrooms above the garage; a chain rail is simpler. Every opener has an automatic reverse if the door meets an obstacle, and we recommend installing the photocells that come with the unit.

Frequently asked questions
Will it work on any garage door?
On most sectional and tilt-up doors that are properly balanced. If the door rolls up, it needs a roller shutter motor instead.
My door is very heavy. Will the opener be able to lift it?
The springs carry the weight, not the opener. If the door is heavy, the springs need to be adjusted or replaced first, and we take care of that.
