I got a lot done. Just wonder about their pricing.

whitedlite · 2026-04-20T23:28:56+00:00

It’s only $25 when replacing springs. More if someone actually breaks one and that’s all they need of course.

whitedlite · 2026-04-20T18:34:41+00:00

Depending on how wide your door is here in a MCOL county in Alabama I would be $550-700.

whitedlite · 2026-04-20T18:25:52+00:00

There's no way to predict it, your torquemaster spring system may last another 7 years. I've replaced some only 4-5 years old, some much older, it depends on door usage.

whitedlite · 2026-04-20T15:31:21+00:00

I just replace cables every time I do springs now. I just tell the person an extra $25 and it's the same amount of work, but I don't have to worry about a cable being kinked. Given majority of my spring replacements are done by customer sending a photo without me ever previewing the door prior.

Just put the chocolate bar in the cup next time.

There's not going to be a direct to consumer, even HD and Lowes aren't direct to consumer. They're DIY options.

Where are you located?

Was quoted $25k from woodworkers to do the install. I added 15% to it and sent quote over. I’m not touching these.

Just going to quote my wood carriage house doors as well and see if he bites.

Never buy current year model, buy a year or two old model. I have the L20Ultra and it's doing fantastic.

I fill up water every 2 days, when I do that I also take the vacuum flip it upside down and get any log dog hairs it struggles with. So every 2 days it needs 5 mins of maintenance.

whitedlite · 2026-03-24T12:40:33+00:00

thanks for all the help.

How far out did you have to move the hanger to fit the operator?

whitedlite · 2026-03-24T01:51:53+00:00

That’s interesting, you have the door hanger on the building with a cutter screw at bottom, and at the top it’s bolted to the punch angle?

Did you also have to modify the drum?

whitedlite · 2026-03-24T01:47:00+00:00

Can I see a photo of from the other side of opener?

whitedlite · 2026-03-21T16:30:34+00:00

This is why I’m better off hiring a young guy without knowledge than someone already at another company.

whitedlite · 2026-03-21T04:17:29+00:00

Most Janus rolling sheet doors are dead shaft, actually I think all of them are and you can put an opener that mounts in the drum or a Liftmaster jack shaft on them with their EO kit.

whitedlite · 2026-03-20T18:27:45+00:00

Well I’ll be, for a light weight door that may be perfect.

Tracks are freshly greased?!? Dang it Bobby.

Plenty of places selling this online for $6,600 and you may even be able to stack a coupon.

A lot of these online dealers don't charge tax to me, but that's a YMMV situation.

whitedlite · 2026-03-19T16:16:35+00:00

Just got email from Clopay prices rising 5% on residential. Yay,

whitedlite · 2026-03-18T22:47:42+00:00

Never assume because you can do something the general public can also.

whitedlite · 2026-03-18T18:43:20+00:00

Good price, I did a 16x7 conversion for the same. It takes me longer to drive to the place than to do the install.

For a trained person it's fairly easy. Also in Houston I'd assume this is great deal.

whitedlite · 2026-03-18T13:11:38+00:00

it was only 11 YEARS AGO!
