Re: high lift garage door kit
I am installing three new doors on my shop. Instead of having the opener mounted overhead on the ceiling and taking up room I could otherwise use for clearance, I have thought of hooking up one of the used openers that I have directly to the torsion spring shaft with a chain and sprockets so it opens the door by turning the shaft. The sprocket on the shaft would have to be about the diameter of the cable drum. That way the opener would lift the door from the bottom with the cables instead of dragging it inward from the top.
Anybody see a problem with this setup?
