It’s not uncommon for new homeowners to decide after their home is built that they’d like to have an automatic garage door opener. This is why most builders provide pre-wiring for a garage door opener’s installation. For more than 35 years, Automatic Garage Door Repair Service has helped residents of Monroe Country, New York, keep their garage doors maintained and repaired.

While they don’t offer garage door installation services, they provide installation services for openers. Installing an automatic garage door opener is no simple task, but their specialists can help you select the appropriate opener for your garage and then install it for you.

How to Install a Garage Door Opener

Mount the Opener

Pre-wired garage doors will feature a slot where the opener should be mounted.

Install a Wall Station

A technician will locate a low-voltage wire, remove part of its insulation, and affix it to the wall control button for the opener.

Connect the Motor

The wires, found in the ceiling, will need to be connected to the motor.  A technician will follow the markings on the wires to complete this connection.

Install the Photo Electric Eyes

These will need to be installed along the garage door track. Not all pre-wired garages are properly connected, so the technician will make adjustments to the wires as needed.

Verify the Connections

Once all components are installed, a technician will verify all the wires are properly connected and that the opener functions properly.

Installing an automatic garage door opener will require the right tools and knowledge for best results.
