Moose, I have a 12=E2=80=99x10=E2=80=99 insulated door on my shop. I didn=E2=
=80=99t want a screw or chain drive because I didn=E2=80=99t have the availa=
ble overhead space so I went with a shaft (or wall mount) opener from Liftma=
ster. Works great. It has Wi-Fi & BT, but they don=E2=80=99t need to be used=
 except for setup. I got mine from Lowe=E2=80=99s as an unopened special ord=
er that was never picked up, discounted 50%!=20

I haven=E2=80=99t looked, but you might be able to find one online @ a disco=
unt shop.=20

There are some that have battery backup built in if that would be helpful.=20=


Peace, Pat

=EF=BB=BFTeam,

Does anyone have an online source for garage door openers for larger doors?

I have a 12X12 insulated door and my opener just quit.

It was a Raynor 1/2 and lasted 23 years (so it really didn't owe me anything=

 'slacken' over time and I never readjusted them. That has since been correc=

Anyway, local place that did the install quoted 2 grand for a new one instal=

I just want to buy one and install it myself.  But all I find are the 'big b=
ox' brands that have wifi and such and 3 and 4 piece 8' rails.

I do NOT want wifi.  Just a button.  Also, I want a 12' one piece rail, so I=
 guess that is why I'm having a hard time finding them online.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks.
