How to Install a Carriage-Style Garage Door Opener
More in Remodeling
Step 1: Mount the Top Bracket
Mount the top bracket right above the door. Attach the opener to the bracket and tighten it into place (Image 1).
Make sure the opener is centered directly above the door bracket.
Cut the angle iron to make a bracket support for the back of the opener (Image 2).
Step 2: Attach the Garage Door
Attach the garage door to the opener with the operator arm, adjusting it to the right angle.
Step 3: Install the Photo Eyes
Connect the wires of the photo eyes together and hook them to the main unit.
Test the photos' eyes by blocking them with a piece of wood. The door should immediately stop and then reverse.
