GARAGE DOOR OPENER PROJECT
Garage Door Opener Replacement on 85th Ave in Glendale
A homeowner in West Plaza called Glendale Garage Doors Pros because an older Craftsman garage door opener from 1991 was no longer working properly. The homeowner chose to replace the old unit, and Eric installed a new LiftMaster smart garage door opener with a built-in camera and smartphone controls.
A 1991 Craftsman Opener Was No Longer Working Properly
The homeowner had a Craftsman garage door opener dating back to 1991. The older motor unit was no longer operating properly and had reached the point where the homeowner wanted to replace it instead of continuing to rely on the aging system.
After discussing the condition of the opener, the homeowner chose to move forward with a new LiftMaster system with modern controls and features.
