What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Wall-Mount (Jackshaft) Opener?
A side-mounted operator that couples to the torsion tube and turns the shaft directly to lift the door.
It eliminates the center rail, opens ceiling space, and can add a motorized deadbolt and cable-tension monitoring for safety. Requires a torsion spring & shaft in good condition and a rigid bearing plate.
Why Choose Urgent Garage Doors
One accountable team: Sizing → installation → programming → training under a single PM/tech.
Every configuration: Standard, low-headroom, high-lift, and rear-torsion setups.
Occupied-space pros: Clean wiring, tidy conduit/low-voltage runs, and same-day cleanup.
Door-first approach: We balance and tune the door so the opener isn’t masking mechanical issues.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Measure headroom/side room and snap photos of the torsion spring/shaft at the header.
Confirm you have a torsion system (not extension springs) or ask about conversion.
Check for a dedicated outlet at the side wall near the torsion shaft (we can advise).
Call our team—we’ll confirm jackshaft compatibility, model, and install approach.
Common Scenarios We Handle
Low-headroom or high-lift doors where a rail/trolley won’t fit well
Car lifts / tall vehicles / ceiling storage needing a clear center bay
Full-view glass or heavy insulated doors that benefit from smooth direct drive
Converted tilt-up → sectional projects needing space and quiet
Smart home upgrades (Wi-Fi/app, keypad, camera, alerts)
Safety & Site Control
Protect work areas; verify door balance, hardware condition, and structural mounting points; confirm power.
Assessment & Sizing
Record door size/weight, lift type (standard/high-lift), and shaft diameter; select jackshaft model, torque class, and accessories (deadbolt, battery, keypad, camera).
Removal & Prep (if converting)
Remove old rail/trolley opener; upgrade bearing plate/shaft coupler as needed; tidy wiring; install outlet if required (with your electrician).
Professional Installation
Mount jackshaft to jamb; couple to torsion tube; install cable-tension monitor and auto deadbolt (when included); wire photo-eyes and wall controls.
Programming & Safety
Set limits/force, test photo-eye reversal, verify tension monitor and deadbolt interlock; pair remotes, keypad, and Wi-Fi/app.
Walkthrough & Cleanup
Create/verify app account; review features, battery backup, and maintenance; leave the site clean.
What’s Included
Door balance check and jackshaft sizing/compatibility review
Old opener removal (if present) and responsible haul-away
Jackshaft mount & coupling (bearing plate verification, shaft coupler)
Safety devices (photo-eyes, cable-tension monitor, auto deadbolt when applicable)
Connectivity (Wi-Fi/app setup; keypad/camera if selected; battery backup install)
Final tune, UL 325 safety verification & homeowner training + documentation
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: 90–150 minutes per opening; conversions (new outlet, spring/plate upgrades) may add time.
Key cost drivers: Door size/weight & lift geometry, jackshaft torque class, battery backup, auto deadbolt, camera/keypad, electrical outlet work, and any torsion conversion from extension springs.
Estimate clarity: Line items for opener head, safety accessories (tension sensor/deadbolt/eyes), controls, installation/haul-away, and optional add-ons (surge protection, camera, keypad).
Insurance & Claims Help
Replacing after surge/impact or water event? We’ll provide photo documentation and a concise narrative for your records.
Separated scopes: Door repair vs. opener installation priced clearly.
(Coverage varies by policy; not financial advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Safety non-compliance if legacy sensors are missing/bypassed
Opener and door damage from lifting an out-of-balance door
Cable slack hazards without a tension monitor
Lost utility of ceiling space for lifts/storage/lighting
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Compatibility: Requires torsion spring & shaft; we can convert from extension springs where appropriate.
Mounting: Structural anchorage to jamb/angle; verified bearing plate rigidity; correct shaft coupler engagement.
Safety & Security: UL 325 photo-eyes, monitored cable tension, auto deadbolt interlock, proper force settings, rolling-code remotes.
Wiring: Clean low-voltage runs; labeled conductors; surge-protection guidance; neat cable management for keypad/camera.
Smart Setup: Wi-Fi/app pairing, guest access, schedules, alerts.
Low-Headroom/High-Lift: Geometry check (track, drum size, IPPT), opener torque matched to door mass.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need torsion springs for a jackshaft?
Yes. Jackshafts drive the torsion shaft. We can convert from extension springs if needed.
Will it work with high-lift tracks?
Absolutely—jackshafts are often the best choice for high-lift/low-headroom geometry.
Is a cable-tension monitor required?
Yes on most modern systems—it stops the motor if a cable slacks, protecting the door and hardware.
What about a lock?
Many jackshafts include an automatic deadbolt that engages at close—more secure than a trolley arm.
Do I need a side-wall outlet?
Yes, typically near the opener location; we’ll advise placement (your electrician can add the receptacle).
Will you set up the app and keypad?
Yes—we pair all devices, create the account, and test remotes/keypad/app before we leave.
