Opener installation involves mounting a new garage door opener, typically a belt-driven or chain-driven unit, to the ceiling and connecting it to the door's torsion tube. This process requires careful measurement and alignment to ensure proper operation. The opener's horsepower, usually ranging from 1/2 to 1 1/2 HP, is also an important consideration.
