Comprehensive Garage Door Opener Solutions Available Today

When your automatic opener fails, the security and convenience of your home are compromised. A garage door is often the primary entrance for homeowners, and a breakdown can limit that access point. We provide full-service installation that replaces your worn-out motor with modern, reliable technology. When you book an installation, the service includes the removal and disposal of the old opener, assembly of the new rail and motor, and complete integration with your existing door hardware.

Types of Drive Systems We Install

Choosing the right drive mechanism is the first step in the installation process. We stock and install all major drive types to suit specific home configurations.

• Belt Drive Openers: These are the preferred choice for homes with a living space directly above or adjacent to the garage. They utilize a steel-reinforced rubber belt to lift the door, resulting in near-silent operation. If noise reduction is a priority, a belt drive minimizes vibration and clanking associated with older models.
• Chain Drive Openers: Known for their strength, chain drives use a metal chain to lift the door. They are durable and cost-effective, making them a solid choice for detached garages or heavy, insulated doors where noise is less of a concern.
• Jackshaft (Wall-Mount) Openers: These openers mount on the wall beside the garage door rather than on the ceiling. This frees up overhead space for storage and is ideal for garages with high or cathedral ceilings. They offer quiet operation and advanced security features.
• Smart Openers: Most modern installations include Wi-Fi connectivity. This allows you to control the door via a smartphone app, receive alerts when the door is opened, and grant access remotely.

What Is Included in the Installation Package

A professional installation goes beyond simply hanging a motor. The service encompasses a complete setup of the automation system to support long-term performance.

• Motor Head Assembly: The engine that powers the lifting mechanism.
• Rail and Trolley Assembly: The track system that guides the door’s movement.
• Safety Sensors: Photo-eye sensors are installed and aligned to help prevent the door from closing on objects or people.
• Wall Console: A multi-function control panel installed inside the garage.
• Remote Controls: Programming of handheld remotes for vehicle use.
• Keyless Entry Keypad: Installation of an exterior keypad for PIN-based access, when applicable.
• Battery Backup: Many new models include battery backups to allow operation during power outages, which can occur during monsoon season.

Good Golly Garage Doors ensures that every component is compatible with your specific garage door weight and size.

The Installation Process: From Assessment to Operation

We utilize a systematic approach to installation to support safety and manufacturer requirements. Attempting to install these mechanical systems without training can lead to injury or voided product warranties. Our technicians follow a defined workflow to help ensure the system operates correctly from the first cycle.

• Site Inspection and Removal: The process begins with an assessment of the current door balance. If the garage door springs are broken or the door is unbalanced, the opener can wear prematurely. Once the door is cleared, the technician disconnects power and disassembles the existing motor, rail, and mounting hardware.
• Assembly and Mounting: The new rail system is assembled on the floor before being lifted. The motor head is attached to the rail, and the assembly is mounted to the ceiling using appropriate angle iron and structural supports to reduce vibration during operation.
• Wiring and Electrical Connection: Low-voltage wiring is run from the motor to the wall station and the safety sensors near the floor. This wiring is secured neatly to reduce sagging or tangling. The opener is then plugged into the designated ceiling outlet.
• Sensor Alignment: This is an important safety step. The photo-eye sensors are mounted near the floor and aligned so the door reverses if the beam is interrupted. 
• Programming and Limit Setting: The technician sets the up and down travel limits so the motor opens and closes the garage door correctly. Force settings are adjusted to help ensure the door reverses if it encounters resistance.
• Accessory Synchronization: Remotes, keypads, and in-vehicle Homelink systems are programmed and tested. If the opener is Wi-Fi enabled, the technician can assist with pairing it to your home network.
• Final Safety Check: A controlled obstruction test is performed to verify the auto-reverse mechanism functions as intended.

When to Replace Your Opener vs. Repair It

Deciding between repairing an aging opener and investing in a new installation is a common consideration. While some minor issues can be repaired, there are scenarios where replacement is often the more practical and safe option.

• Safety Standards Have Changed: If your current opener lacks photo-eye safety sensors, it does not meet modern safety standards and can pose a risk to pets and children. Replacement is recommended for openers without these external entrapment protection devices.
• Noise Levels are Unbearable: Older chain drive openers can become noisy as internal components wear. If noise affects nearby living spaces, upgrading to a modern DC motor belt drive can noticeably reduce sound.
• Lack of Security Features: Older openers may use fixed codes that are less secure. Modern openers use rolling code technology, generating a new code each time the remote is used, which improves security.
• Recurring Repairs: If you have needed multiple repairs within a short period, the opener may be nearing the end of its typical service life. A new installation provides updated technology and renewed warranty coverage.

Professional Execution and Warranty Protection

Attempting a DIY installation can result in improper setup. A garage door is the heaviest moving component in your home, and the opener regulates that movement. If mounting hardware is not secured correctly to structural framing, the system can wear prematurely.

We arrive prepared with the necessary parts and components to complete the planned installation. Our technicians are trained to handle the torque requirements of different garage door materials, from non-insulated steel to heavy custom wood doors.

Beyond the physical installation, professional service can include configuration of smart home features. Integrating your opener with platforms such as MyQ or Alarm.com requires specific setup steps that our team can assist with.

Good Golly Garage Doors stands behind every installation with manufacturer-backed parts warranties and workmanship coverage as provided by the installer. We install professional-grade opener models designed for residential use, featuring solid rails and appropriately rated motors.
