How do you wire a garage door opener?

In: Electrical Wiring [Edit categories]

Answer:

Garage door openers do not get "wired." They are sold with a standard 3-prong, 120VAC plug that is about two-feet long and plugs into a 15A, 120VAC outlet -- next to the location where the opener is installed. In the absence of a nearby AC outlet, you will need an extension to power you garage door opener.

Well power doesn't get wired the wall mount and sensors do get wired use the directions they will tell you where hook the wires on the back of the opener.
