Hi gnpenning, The primary reason I purchased this side door opener was because 1-2 of my dad's friends, who are weekend DIY types, felt that there may not be enough space for a ceiling mounted garage opener...I think the ceiling door to the attic is in that area. The Chamberlain RJ020 was on...

Thank you. I am going to have to read your response a couple of times to understand it, as it is much above my level of technical knowledge!! I am curious, should I have chosen a regular ceiling mounted opener instead of a side mounted opener? Thank you

Hello, I want to put a garage door opener, you know the type which opens with a motor, as my Dad is getting a vehicle and wants to put it in the garage. I read online, maybe it was fiction, that one should make sure the springs are good before putting a garage door opener?. Thus, I took...

Hello, New here, made a brief introduction in the other thread. Don't know much about garages, but trying to help my Dad (its his account). He wants to replace this 'rod and spring' (see pictures), I guess the mechanism that allows the garage door to open when lifted/closed. Does anyone...
