How do you choose and buy a Commercial Door Operator?

Commercial Door Operators are complex systems, designed to integrate with a wide variety of door types, functions, and situations. In addition to the style of door (Standard Sectional, Rolling Steel, etc.) the size, weight, and number of cycles determine what type of operator is required. As a result, you should contact a professional installer of LiftMaster products to assist in the selection of an operator.
