I assume you mean there's not enough clearance between the door and the ceiling for the mechanism when the door is open. I had that problem where I once lived and simply lived with it 'til I moved. On the other hand, I never actually had a "professional" garage door guy look at it and offer alternatives. -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |

says... What can you do if the garage ceiling is too low for the garage door opener? You have several options. If your door uses standard tracks, you can replace them with tight radius tracks. This will lower the height of the upper track. Use an opener like a Genie Pro, which only requires about 3 inches over the highest part of the door travel. Or, you can buy a wall-mount gargage door opener like this one at Wayne Dalton: http://www.wayne-dalton.com/DirectDrive.asp -- Dennis |

Very small compared to traditonal ones. Don;t know about cost or reliability, but it does sound like it could be a good solution for low cleareance applications. |
