What Is LiftMaster/Chamberlain Opener Installation?

A complete, brand-specific operator setup: mount the opener, install rail or wall-mounted jackshaft, wire photo-eyes, program travel/force, pair remotes/keypad/myQ®, set alerts/schedules, and verify UL 325 safety—all matched to your door’s weight and lift geometry.

Belt-drive: Quiet and smooth—ideal for attached garages.

Chain-drive: Durable value—great for detached or lighter doors.

Direct-drive (jackshaft): Wall-mounted, frees ceiling space—perfect for low-headroom/high-lift and heavier/custom doors.

  • Low-Headroom/High-Lift: LiftMaster jackshaft preferred; ensure correct dead-shaft and sensor placement.

Frequently Asked Questions

LiftMaster vs. Chamberlain—what’s the difference?

Both share myQ® and core tech. LiftMaster is the pro/contractor line (broader models, jackshaft options, accessories). Chamberlain is a strong retail line for standard residential needs.


Do I really need battery backup?

Highly recommended—keeps access during power outages and is required in many California scenarios for new installs.


Will you set up the myQ app and keypad?

Yes—we pair devices, create/verify your account, and test remotes/keypad/app before we leave.


Can my old rail stay to save money?

No—rails are opener-specific. We install the matched rail/drive for safety and warranty.


My door is heavy (insulated/glass)—is that OK?

We size the motor/torque and verify door balance so the opener runs within spec.


What warranties are included?

Manufacturer coverage on the opener/rail/accessories plus our workmanship warranty; details appear on your proposal.
