So if you have just placed your order you might be able to add it on

Which is great news for me as the new house (when i find one) will be getting Automatic gates, if the driveway permits

I simply nailed the garage door in the up position, I drive in and out no probs

I need a new lift spring for the door, possibly a new door would be a better solution. but as its on a secluded farm and not pointing into the weather there is no rush. At work

my door is the up and over type, not ideal for electric convertions, especially when the cables and tracks are all worn. I had nail it up as on windy days it used to lower itself as you drove in. one time it blew down onto Mrs G's head  At work

CG, mine is also up and over type and used the following with the electric opener, It converts the pull of the motor in to up and over motion. Works well.

Useful for gates but for garage door, I prefer to manually choose. Many times I just pull up outside but not actually wanting to park in the garage. Phil
