Professional garage opener installation that actually lasts, from a company that’s been doing this right since 1945.
You know that sinking feeling when you’re running late and your garage door decides to quit. The motor makes a grinding noise, or worse—complete silence. Now you’re stuck in your driveway, already behind schedule, trying to manually lift a 200-pound door.
A properly installed garage opener changes everything. You pull into your driveway, hit the button, and the door opens smoothly every single time. No grinding, no sticking, no wondering if today’s the day it finally gives up. Just reliable access to your home, exactly when you need it.
That’s what three generations of Great Neck homeowners have gotten from us. Not just a working garage door—peace of mind that it’ll work tomorrow morning too.
Eidelberg Garage Doors has been installing and repairing garage openers since 1945. What started with Maurice Heidelberg has grown into a trusted name across Great Neck, the Five Towns, and Long Island.
We took over in 2011 and built on that foundation of quality work and honest service. We know Great Neck homes—from the historic village properties to the newer developments. We understand how coastal humidity affects garage door hardware and which opener types work best in attached garages near bedrooms.
Most of our work comes from referrals. When your neighbor recommends someone for garage door work, that says something about the quality you can expect.
First, we assess your current setup and garage door type. Heavy wooden doors need different openers than standard aluminum ones. We measure your garage height and check the existing wiring and track condition.
Next comes selecting the right opener. Chain drive for maximum strength and budget-friendly operation. Belt drive for whisper-quiet performance in attached garages. Smart openers with WiFi connectivity so you can check your door status from anywhere. We explain the differences without pushing the most expensive option.
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours. We remove your old opener safely (those springs are under serious tension), install the new motor unit, connect the drive system, program your remotes, and test all safety features. Before we leave, we show you how everything works and answer any questions you have.

Every garage opener installation includes the motor unit, drive mechanism (chain, belt, or screw), mounting hardware, safety sensors, wall control panel, and two remote controls. We also include professional programming of all components and a full demonstration of operation.
Great Neck’s coastal location means garage door hardware takes a beating from humidity and salt air. That’s why we use corrosion-resistant components and apply protective treatments where needed. Your opener needs to handle the temperature swings from winter cold to summer heat without losing performance.
Smart opener installations include WiFi setup and smartphone app configuration. You’ll be able to open, close, and monitor your garage door remotely. Get alerts if you forgot to close it, or let service providers in when you’re not home. Battery backup options keep you mobile even during power outages—important for a community that values reliability and security.
