Another approach is quickly gaining ground: the <strong>wall-mount opener<\/strong> (jackshaft), installed beside the door, directly on the torsion shaft. Here is why we are installing more and more of them.<\/p>\n<h2>A completely free ceiling<\/h2>\n<p>No more rail and motor above the car: the wall-mount installs beside the door. Ideal for cathedral ceilings, overhead storage, very tall doors \u2014 or simply a cleaner, brighter garage.<\/p>\n<h2>Noticeably quieter<\/h2>\n<p>No trolley rolling in a ceiling rail: the DC motor drives the shaft directly. Vibrations no longer transfer to the structure \u2014 a huge advantage when a bedroom sits above the garage.<\/p>\n<h2>Built for outages and security<\/h2>\n<p>The LiftMaster models in this line include an <strong>integrated battery backup<\/strong> (the door works even during an outage), Wi-Fi and myQ for remote control, and on the 98032, an <strong>automatic lock<\/strong> that physically deadbolts the door on every close.<\/p>\n<h2>Two models depending on the door<\/h2>\n<p>The LiftMaster 98022 covers sectional doors up to 850 lb (14 ft high); the high-capacity 98032 goes up to 1,100 lb with its commercial-grade gearbox \u2014 for solid wood or oversized doors. Browse our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/garage-door-opener\/\">opener line<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Check before you buy<\/h2>\n<p>The wall-mount requires a door with <strong>torsion springs<\/strong> and a little side clearance. Most recent doors are compatible \u2014 we confirm it in one visit, and we take care of the installation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/free-quote\/\">Request your quote<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free ceiling, quiet operation, battery backup, automatic lock: why the wall-mount opener is increasingly replacing the ceiling model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":8633,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9910"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9910\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9911,"href":"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9910\/revisions\/9911"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portedegarageandre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
