What is the difference between a ready to assemble opener in a box and a “professional” opener?
Many home improvement stores sell openers in a box that you assemble and install yourself. These “box openers” come with a boom that must be assembled and metal flat strap to attach the opener head to the ceiling. Professional openers come with a solid full length, one piece boom for greater strength and sturdy, solid 1 1/4″ angle iron to attach the opener head to the ceiling. The manufacturers of “box openers” usually abandon the production of replacement parts in favor of churning out more openers, while the manufacturers of “professional openers” produce replacement parts for those openers for many more years down the road. Professional opener installers offer a Service Department to go to if you have problems and trained technicians to answer your technical questions.
