In Glastonbury, CT, we replaced a failed opener with a LiftMaster 3/4 HP opener with camera, along with new matching springs and cables for a 150 lb door.
We recently completed a garage door opener installation in Glastonbury, CT. The homeowner contacted us after their existing garage door opener stopped working. During our thorough inspection, we weighed the door and found that it weighed 150 pounds. We also noted that the springs previously installed by the customer were only rated to lift 100 pounds. Because of this mismatch, the opener had been lifting an extra 50 pounds of weight every time the door operated for eight years, which ultimately caused the opener to fail. After discussing the findings and options with the customer, we replaced the non-working unit with a new LiftMaster 3/4 HP garage door opener that includes a built-in camera. To fix the root cause and ensure the system operates smoothly, we also replaced the door's springs and cables with properly matched components designed to handle the full 150-pound weight of the door.
