From a Wall Button to a Phone
The opener in this Tukwila garage was an old boxy unit with a bare wire hanging from it and no way to check or control the door away from home. The homeowner asked Next Door Garage Door Service for a garage door opener installation with something they could run from their phone.
We installed a LiftMaster 6580L. Its built-in Wi-Fi connects to the myQ app, so the homeowner can open, close and check the door from a smartphone and get an alert if it is left open. The belt drive is quiet, the integrated LEDs light the garage when the door moves, and the battery backup keeps the door working if the power goes out.
The old opener and rail were taken down, the new unit mounted on the existing brackets with a new rail, the safety sensors and wall control wired, and the opener joined to the home Wi-Fi and paired with the app before testing. If an existing opener has stopped responding, our opener repair page covers the usual causes; remote programming covers adding extra remotes or a keypad.
