| Hi,
I would like to convert my garage door from an extension spring system to a torsion spring system. The torsion system will allow me to use a wall mount opener as opposed to the common ceiling type. Is this conversion possible? Practical? Good? Bad? Idea?? Thanks

| Depending on the size door you have conversions can be costly. The company I work for charges $300.00. If it is on a 8ft or 9ft wide door, My personal opinion is it would be a waste of time and money. By the time you are done you could be spending upwards of $600.00 (cost of the opener being $300.00 or more) just to have jackshaft opener. I guess it depends on personal preference. I agree with Don No Wayne Dalton openers. |
