Automatic Garage Door Opener For Double Doors



Question:
I just bought a house that has double garage doors that swing in to open. I'm wondering if it's possible to have a garage door opener installed that can accomodate this kind of garage door. I really don't want to have to replace the doors with a "regular" door (i.e., on that swings up). I don't think I've ever seen a garage door opener work with double doors that swing in, but I imagine it must be possible. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Answer:
Yes, it should be quite doable but will probably cost you a good bit more than a "conventional" door opener might. The mechanisms that are used to open gates on estates should be readily adaptable to what you describe since they are doing basically the same thing. I'd guess that one of these would cost four or five times what a regular Genie opener although I haven't priced one (no estate here).
