Here at Lockfront Automation, we will provide you with a comprehensive guide on what to expect through the process when you choose garage door motors installation.

Preliminary Inspection

Before starting your garage door motor installation process, Lockfront Automation will conduct a thorough consultation and assessment of your garage door.  Our skilled technicians conduct a thorough pre-installation inspection to assess the unique characteristics of your garage. This involves taking measurements of the size and weight of the door, assessing the condition of your door and its lifting mechanism, and discussing your specific needs and preferences. This step ensures that every aspect of the installation process is tailored to the specific requirements of your space. During this visit, feel free to address any questions or concerns you may have, including inquiries about the installation cost.

Preparing Your Space

Before the scheduled garage door motors installation date, it’s essential to prepare your garage for the upcoming transformation. Clear the area of any vehicles, declutter the surroundings, and give the workspace a quick clean. Additionally, consider deciding on the optimal locations for the garage door opener and any wall consoles, if applicable, based on the technician’s recommendations.  It is important to remember that these are electric motors which require a plug point nearby.  If power is not available at the specific motor installation site, Lockfront can work with your electrician or arrange for this to be handled for you as part of the project.

The Installation Process

Once the initial consultation is complete, the Lockfront team will provide you with a comprehensive quotation detailing the required components and installation cost.  Upon acceptance of this quote and payment of the deposit, a qualified Lockfront technician will schedule an installation date and proceed with professional garage door motors installation. Our technicians follow a series of steps to ensure the safe and seamless operation of your garage door motor:

  • Removal of the old door opener and disposal of related hardware.
  • Installation of the drive unit responsible for motor lift and door movement.
  • Attachment of the track, mounting bracket, and beam above the door opening.
  • Connection of the motor to the ceiling beam and feeding of motor wires to a wall switch.
  • Installation of infrared sensors for path obstruction detection (if included in your installation specification).
  • Connection of the garage door to the opening.
  • Garage door opener installation in the designated location.
  • Installation of wall consoles and pairing of remotes.

Throughout this process, safety remains a top priority. Lockfront Automation will follow industry best practices and adhere to all safety guidelines. Our professionals are trained to handle every detail with care, ensuring that your family and pets are kept out of harm’s way.
