[DeTomaso] NPC Garagedoors

I believe that is a separate issue to the type of opener you are using. When I installed my lift I had to have the garage door tracks/rails extended/raised nearer the ceiling. Now the door opens within an inch of the ceiling and that's with a standard opener.

 

I was pursuaded away from the jackshaft opener for use on a double door from a robustness persepctive as there is a lot of torque reuired to lift the door at the shaft. My guy said he had experienced problems with them and wouldn't install one, but he did raise my std unit right to the ceiling.

 

Good luck,

Julian
