Garage Door Opener Installation Studio City

A Studio City homeowner recently chose Fixxed Garage Doors for a garage door opener installation. Their old chain drive opener had become too noisy and unreliable after over ten years of use. But like all mechanical devices, it started showing its age. The repair costs were adding up, and the chain drive mechanism was getting louder each time.

After considering options, the client chose a belt drive Genie garage door opener for its quiet and smooth operation. Unlike chain drives, belt-drive openers need less upkeep and endure Southern California’s weather better. This option was the best choice for their needs.

Before any garage door opener upgrade, we always follow safety protocols. Here is how our team at Fixxed Garage Doors handled each step with precision and care:

Step 1: Preparation and Removal

First, we turned off the power to the old opener to keep everyone safe during the repair work. Then, we further examined the garage door system. We checked the tracks, rollers, and springs for any signs of wear.

Step 2: Checking the Garage Door Balance

A balanced door is crucial for the new opener. To check its balance, we detached the old opener from the door. Then, we adjusted the springs to help their new opener work better and last longer.

Step 3: Installing New Garage Door Opener Hardware

We placed a sturdy mounting board across the ceiling joists to support the new opener. Then, we attached new brackets to the garage door, making sure they were at the correct height and position.

Step 4: Assembling the New Garage Door Opener

Next, we assembled the main unit of the Genie garage door opener by attaching the rail to the motor unit. We ensured all parts were secure, as the belt drive system requires precise alignment for smooth, quiet operation.

Step 5: Mounting the Opener

We then lifted and secured the Genie garage door opener to the mounting board, ensuring the unit was level and straight. Next, we attached the door arm to the new bracket and connected the emergency release rope. This feature allows for manual door operation in case of a power outage.

Step 6: Installing Garage Door Safety Features

Safety sensors are very important. We mounted them six inches above the floor. Both sensors must line up perfectly. These sensors stop the door if anything blocks its path.

Step 7: Wiring and Power

With caution, we connected all the wires, including the power and safety sensors. We placed the wall button in an easy-to-reach spot. After that, we plugged in the opener and checked all the connections.

Step 8: Programming and Testing

Now, we set up the new Genie garage door opener by setting the door’s travel limits and adjusting the force settings for safe operation. We also updated the remote and keypad codes to ensure security.

Step 9: Final Safety Checks

We tested the auto-reverse feature several times to make sure the door goes back up if it hits something. With every test, we confirmed that the safety sensors work right.

Step 10: Client Training

Finally, we showed the client how everything works and guided them through all the features of their new opener. We also explained essential maintenance steps to keep it running smoothly. Then, we let them operate the opener, and they felt confident and comfortable using it.
