Generally, you cannot replace a garage door opener without changing the rails. Your garage door rails need to be able to fit your garage door and opener unit perfectly and even if you buy the same model as your old one, manufacturers change models frequently and the new opener may not fit your old rails. To find out what kind of rails you’ll need for your new garage door opener, you should consult a professional.

All American Door’s team of experts is available 24/7 to answer any questions you have about your garage door. If you have any questions or would like to find out more about our services, give us a call today.

Typically, garage door openers usually last from 10-15 years. However, several factors can influence when you’ll need to have yours replaced including the quality of the garage door opener and how often you use it. Maintenance can also help it to last longer. You’ll need to have your garage door opener replaced sooner if your garage door often opens or closes then reverses, if it gets stuck frequently, or if the opener starts to make unusually loud noises while in use.

At All American Door, we offer professional garage door opener installation services. If your garage door opener is old or giving you trouble, call us today to have yours replaced.
