Expert Doors Garage Door Openers

All openers sold and installed by Expert Doors Garage Door Company are compliant with SB-969. For those that are unaware of the new law in effect as of July 1st, 2019, more information can be found here.

In short, any garage door openers replaced, must be replaced with a battery backup capable unit. Additionally, if you’re replacing a garage door and you do not have a compliant opener, you are required to replace your opener as well.

Liftmaster Chain Drive Model 8160WB

A tad noisier than the belt drive, The Liftmaster chain drive is perfect for rental homes and flip homes.

You get the reliability you want by using Liftmaster, yet you aren’t paying as much as you would for a nice opener you might put on a home you live in.

The 8160WB is still not the cheapest option. That’s because we know using the cheapest units isn’t what anyone usually wants. We work with this model because it is a durable/reliable unit while still an affordable one.

We recommend putting this garage door opener in if you want something a little cheaper without compromising on quality.

You can expect to get a minimum of 18 years of life out of this garage door opener, provided you take care of any necessary repairs you may run into. (Gears do break around 8-12 years on a chain driven garage door opener)

Liftmaster Belt Drive Model 8550w

The Liftmaster model 85704 comes equipped with a dc motor, wifi, 360 degree ultra bright LED lighting, wifi camera, and a back up battery!

The back up battery is extremely useful if your area has frequent power outages. You can thank us after you’re able to get out then the power’s off.

The super bright lights are meant to outlast the opener itself. The dc motor, backup battery and wifi are standard of course. 

This is truly the top of the line when it comes to garage door openers and so far there hasn’t been a dissatisfied customer! 

Lifespan is at 20+ years, however the backup battery does need to be replaced around every 4-6 years.

The Liftmaster Jackshaft sidemount garage door opener is a great option for those who need the extra head space or just don’t want the hassle / headache of having a garage door opener in the dead center of the garage.

You can expect to pay the most for this particular opener as Liftmaster is the only company offering a motor like it.

As nice as it is to have the headroom and the clean modern look to your garage, we only recommend this opener to people who absolutely need it. For the simple reason that there are still a lot of unknowns when dealing with this opener.
