Q:What horsepower opener do I need?
A:Performance requirements for your door opener depend on the weight of your door. A 1/3 horsepower opener may be adequate for single car doors and a 1/2 horsepower for double car doors. Heavier carriage doors like the DTE 7 Series and 5 Series doors usually require specially designed 3/4 horsepower openers. For most residential applications, we recommend 1/2 horsepower openers.
