Same Door, Clear Ceiling
The existing door in this Kent garage was in good condition, so nothing changed about the door itself. What the homeowner wanted was to get rid of the opener and rail hanging from the ceiling, which took up overhead space and sat right in the middle of a freshly finished garage.
Next Door Garage Door Service carried out a garage door opener installation to replace the ceiling unit with a LiftMaster 98022 wall-mounted opener. It mounts on the wall beside the torsion shaft and drives the shaft directly, so there is no motor, rail or hanging bracket overhead at all.
The old opener, rail and ceiling brackets were removed, the new unit was wired and its safety sensors reconnected, and the door was tested through its full travel. If a door is older, a switch like this is also a good moment for a tune-up; our opener repair page covers what to check when an existing opener is playing up.
