Here are the steps to install a garage door opener:
1. Assemble the carriage tube as directed by the manufacturer. The carriage tube will allow the carriage to travel from the power unit to the front wall of the garage to raise and lower the door.
2. Mount the power unit on the ceiling above the garage door. Use angle iron to attach it to the ceiling joists.
3. Attach the rail to the power unit and align it with the center of the garage door.
4. Mark the ceiling and floor where you want to install the rail.
5. Attach the header bracket above the garage door opening.
6. Install blocking on the ceiling for attaching the motor later.
7. Install a bracket on the door that is opposite of where you installed the header bracket.
8. Attach a bracket to hold the end of the rail at the front of the garage door.
9. Slide a trolley onto the end of the rail closest to the motor.
10. Attach brackets to hold it in place.
11. Connect a bracket on top of each track for attaching a safety cable.
12. Install a pulley at each end of each track.
13. Attach brackets for attaching a safety cable on each track.
14. Install a wall-mounted control panel and connect it to wires running to the motor.
15. Install an infrared safety beam across the bottom of your garage door opening.
