What is Side Mount Garage Door Opener?
A wall mount, also known as a side mount or jackshaft opener, is typically found on either side of your garage door. This style is common in garages with high or irregularly shaped ceilings. Unlike the ceiling mount, this type of system is connected to and relies on the torsion bar to operate the garage door.
How to Install a Side Mounted Garage Door Opener?
1. The most common standard usage is to install the door closer on the hinge side, the side where the door opens. When so mounted, the arms of the closer project outwardly, at approximately 90° to the door frame.
2. The door closer is installed on the side opposite to the hinge side and on the side where the door is closed. Usually an extra bracket supplied with the door closer mounts to the arm parallel to the door frame. This usage is usually on exterior doors that open outwards where it is not desirable to install the door closer outside the building.
3. The body of the door closer is installed on the door frame instead of the door in turn, and the door closer is on the opposite side of the door hinge. This usage can also be used on exterior doors that open outwards, especially those doors that have a very narrow top edge and not wide enough to accommodate the body of the door closer.
4. The vertical door closer (built-in vertical door closer) is upright and invisible on the inside of one side of the door shaft, and the screws and parts cannot be seen from the outside. It can be integrated with the door and can be opened and closed in one and two directions, and the construction is simple.
