| May 3, 2016 at 1:42 | comment | added | Jason Goemaat | @Air I thought there might be an engineering reason that I can't think of that wouldn't be a problem for businesses. Like maybe they would require lifting the door straight up for instance though that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe safety issues or permits required for the different system? | |

| May 2, 2016 at 16:31 | comment | added | DLS3141 | Do you plan to cycle your garage door 100k - 500k times in your lifetime? The cost to provide that kind of warranty would price such a system well beyond the reach of the average homeowner. | |
