So you are in the market for an automatic garage door opener? When such things were introduced long ago and far away, my dad would jokingly impress the neighbors by telling them that, not only did he have a garage door opener, but that it was voice activated. As they exclaimed in amazement (this being decades before anything was voice activated; nobody had even invented “The Clapper” yet). He would then turn to me and say, “Go open the garage door”, and everybody but me had a good chuckle.

Well, like a growing number of people, I am no longer a garage door opener. I have a modern Genie unit doing service in my garage. I consider my self to be of at least moderate ability as a do-it-yourselfer, and after giving the matter some research and frank thought, I tackled the garage door opener installation myself.
