I recently had 2 highlift doors installed in my current shop project. The Tracks, winding drum and springs will need to be replaced to convert your door. All of the lift and guiding hardware is different. Also if you are thinking of an electric door operator, you will have to go with a shaft drive unit with a electromechanical locking system. On the upside, you will not have any hardware in the middle of your space, I like the open space above the door, uncluttered look!
