How an installation goes
- The door is checked for balance by hand before any opener goes on.
- The old opener is taken down and the new one mounted and wired.
- Safety sensors are set at the bottom of the tracks and aligned.
- Remotes, the keypad and the app are paired, and the safety reverse is tested.

- Why it fails here
- Rails, chains and wire ends are bare metal. Salt in the damp air speeds their corrosion. Source: ISO 9223:2012, Corrosion of metals and alloys: corrosivity of atmospheres.
- What holds up
- A belt or wall-mount drive, a battery backup, and sensor wiring run where it stays dry.
- Check interval
- Test the door's safety reverse at least once every four weeks: lay a 1½-inch-thick piece of wood flat on the floor at the center of the door and close it. The door should reverse when it touches the wood. Source: DASMA (Door & Access Systems Manufacturers Association), "Safety Tips: Garage Door Openers".

Opener installation questions
How much does a new garage door opener cost installed?
A new opener installed starts from $250, including mounting, wiring, the safety sensors and your remotes. A belt or wall-mount drive, smart features and extra keypads can raise the price.
Which opener drive type is best near the ocean?
A belt drive or a wall-mount opener. A steel chain sits in damp, salty air on the rail and rusts. A belt doesn't, and a wall-mount unit takes the rail away altogether. A chain drive costs less and still fits a detached garage where noise doesn't matter.
Does a new opener need a battery backup in California?
Yes. Since July 1, 2019, California law (Senate Bill 969) requires a battery backup on residential garage door openers that are sold or installed, so the door still works in a power outage.
Can a new opener go on my existing door?
Usually, yes, once the door is balanced and moves freely by hand. An opener is built to move a balanced door, not to lift one with a weak spring. If the door needs work first, it is priced on the same visit. Common repairs start from $150.
