The materials you choose, like steel versus wood, and the complexity of the hardware or opener system, will also shift the total.

About this service

This is essentially the same as a wall mount unit, mounted on the wall beside the door to drive the torsion bar directly. It is a great choice if you have a low ceiling or want to eliminate the rail hanging in the middle of your garage. We ensure the motor is properly calibrated to the weight of your specific door. Costs depend on the opener model and mounting requirements, with exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
