Yes, but the “hockey-stick” shaped arm that connects the garage door opener to the garage door must be released before the brace is installed (and re-attached after the brace is removed). This is normally done by removal of a cotter key and pin. Since you may do this several times during the period you own the brace, you may want to consider a quick-release cotter pin available for about $1 at most hardware stores.
