Common Questions

Is the motor included in the kit?

No, the kit does not include the motor. It only includes the door, which can be confusing if you didn't already have the auto-opener. Make sure to buy the motor separately.

Highlighted Reviews

— Danny

"This has made life so much easier! Already had the auto opener, and now installed this door. Was pretty simple to install and operates perfectly."

— Jenna

"This "kit" doesn't include the motor. It's just the door. So there's nothing "self-locking" about this. You have to purchase the motor separately. What a joke! The "kit" should include everything not just a door. I'm so annoyed that I wasted my money on this."

Bottom Line

If you already have the automatic opener, this door kit can be a valuable addition. However, be aware that the product description can be misleading. It is recommended to clarify what is included in the kit before purchasing. Otherwise, consider other products with clearer descriptions.
