How does a side mount garage door opener work?
A side mount garage door opener, also known as a jackshaft opener, operates by mounting directly to the torsion spring shaft above the garage door. Instead of a chain or belt running along the ceiling, it uses a motorized unit that rotates the spring shaft, thereby opening and closing the door. This type of opener is ideal for garages with low headroom or obstructions on the ceiling. The pros can assess if this system is suitable for your El Monte home.
