Heavy Duty Chain Drive Opener: Model 8587W

From a customer’s recent experience:


 A neighbor was telling me the other day that my wood garage door(s) required a HEAVY DUTY opener, to handle the weight of the door. Wait….wood doors are heavier than steel doors? Go figure! So I let my fingers do the walking and guess what I found: Plano Overhead Garage Door installs heavy duty garage door openers! This is exactly what I needed to hear! A company with a great reputation and the right product for my needs. Bottom line, this is the choice for heavy duty openers. Plano Overhead is THE choice for a reputable business who believes in providing excellent customer service and building customer relationships. What more could I ask for?!  

Let’s take a look at the increasingly popular Liftmaster 8587 Heavy Duty Chaindriven Garage Door Opener:


LiftMaster 8587W Heavy Duty Garage Door Opener
  • Heavy Duty, ¾ hp, chain drive opener – lifts the heaviest doors, including solid wood (like mine!)
  • Has MyQ technology (WiFi), making it possible for me to operate the opener from my smartphone, securely monitor and control houselights
  • As a safeguard, the code changes every time the remote button is pushed (yeah, no more “ghost” opening!). Also includes a motion detector and locking capabilities.
