Team,

Does anyone have an online source for garage door openers for larger 
doors?

I have a 12X12 insulated door and my opener just quit.

It was a Raynor 1/2 and lasted 23 years (so it really didn't owe me 
anything.)  It failed most likely because the springs weren't tension 
properly (they 'slacken' over time and I never readjusted them. That has 
since been corrected.)

Anyway, local place that did the install quoted 2 grand for a new one 
installed.

I just want to buy one and install it myself.  But all I find are the 'big 
box' brands that have wifi and such and 3 and 4 piece 8' rails.

I do NOT want wifi.  Just a button.  Also, I want a 12' one piece rail, so 
I guess that is why I'm having a hard time finding them online.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks.

Moose.

$2K for an opener seems outrageous.  Are you a Costco member?  I just had 3
8x7 garage doors (mid range in quality) with openers with cameras installed
through Costco for under $10K after discounts (Central NJ for context). I
think the openers were around $800 each, but I don't know if they will do
just openers without the doors.  It may be worth looking into.
