  • 1. Initial Assessment

    We begin every installation by conducting a thorough assessment of your gate system. Our technicians will measure the gate's width, weight, and swing radius to determine the appropriate LiftMaster model for your needs. We evaluate your property's electrical access, ensuring proper voltage is available near the installation site.

  • 2. Setting Up the Motor Unit

    We begin by selecting the ideal location for your LiftMaster motor unit. This spot should be protected from the elements while allowing easy access for maintenance. Our team carefully unpacks the motor components and inspects them for any shipping damage before proceeding.

  • 3. Wiring and Power Connection

    Proper wiring is crucial for reliable gate operation. We run appropriate gauge wires in weather-resistant conduits to protect connections from moisture and environmental damage. Our technicians carefully follow LiftMaster wiring diagrams to connect:

  • 4. Mounting and Alignment

    Precise alignment is essential for smooth gate operation and long motor life. We carefully measure and mark mounting positions based on the gate's weight and dimensions.

  • 5. Remote Control and Sensors

    We program all remote controls during the installation process, ensuring they work flawlessly with your new LiftMaster gate system. Each remote can be quickly paired with your operator using the learn button on the control board.

  • 6. Motor Speed and Force Settings

    Your LiftMaster gate operator's motor speed and force settings require precise calibration for optimal performance. We adjust these settings based on your gate's size, weight, and operating conditions.

  • 7. Connectivity Features

    Modern LiftMaster operators offer advanced connectivity options that we can set up during installation. The myQ mobile app allows you to monitor and control your gate from anywhere using your smartphone.

Types of LiftMaster Motors

LiftMaster offers three main drive types for their garage door motors. Chain drive motors are the most common and affordable option. They use a metal chain to move the door up and down. While slightly noisier than other options, they're extremely durable and perfect for detached garages.


Belt drive motors use a rubber belt instead of a chain. These are much quieter, making them ideal for homes with living spaces above or adjacent to the garage. They cost a bit more but provide smoother operation.


Screw drive motors have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance. They use a threaded steel rod to move the door. These work well in areas with changing temperatures and provide a good balance between noise level and power.


Each motor type comes in different horsepower ratings to match your door's weight and size.

Benefits of Choosing LiftMaster

LiftMaster motors deliver exceptional value through their reliability and advanced features. Most models use Wi-Fi connectivity to control your garage door from anywhere using a smartphone app. This means you'll never worry about whether you closed the garage door again.


Security features like rolling code technology prevent code theft. Many models also include battery backup, ensuring your garage door works even during power outages. LiftMaster motors are built to last, with quality components that stand up to years of daily use. Their motors typically include:


  • Motion-detecting lighting
  • Timer-to-close functionality
  • Compatibility with home automation systems
  • MyQ technology for smart home integration


We install all LiftMaster models with precision to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
