[Shop-talk] Garage door openers

[Tom FitzGibbon]

$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.
