Can I reuse the old rails and parts when installing a new garage door opener? Although your new garage door opener may appear similar in design to your old opener, our recommendation is that you replace the entire opener. This includes mounting hardware, rails, wired door controls and wireless remote devices.
The roll-up or tilt-up, garage doors, or simple hinged type are by far deemed the most affordable garage door styles to be repaired or replaced. The other models are a bit too complicated for the process and hence needs more money than these door types to be repaired or replaced.
