anyone using the Miracle garage door openers?

There are issues with safety on commercial doors, the places I've asked will not install them at a residential house.

No data on it, but what about a roll-up door?

Rich - I will be installing a new door and reframing at the same time to conver the current 7 foot door into an 8 foot door. Could you give me a like to a pic of a jakshaft operator, if you sell them? I couldn't see them on your site.

Thanks,

Dean

Something prevent you installing yourself (other than choice which, of course, is a valid reason)? Price would be one other possibility, obviously.

Those Miracle openers suck. They are only good from an installer's point of view where he can sucker a homeowner to buy. They install quickly so the installer can take the money and run. These openers work from one side of the door, if your door is working perfectly you will have problems especially on double-width doors.. Any type of maintenance issues such as spring balance, worn pulleys, worn rollers, out of plumb tracks etc. can cause the Miracle to need a miracle. Get a jackshaft operator if you have a door with torsion springs. Jackshaft operators are intended for high lift and vertical lift doors. If your door isn't high lift or vertical lift then you will need spring plungers mounted at the rear of the tracks to give your door the initial momentum to help prevent the cables from coming off the drums. If you have extension springs then get a low-profile trolley operator with a slave unit (Motor-head sits to the side of the tracks, out of the way, and a shaft operates the trolley mechanism.).
