When it comes to operating commercial and industrial doors efficiently, Jackshaft Openers represent one of the most advanced and space-saving technologies available today. Unlike traditional trolley or chain-driven systems, Jackshaft openers are mounted on the wall beside the door instead of the ceiling, providing a cleaner look, better accessibility, and smoother operation. At McDaniel Access Company LLC, we specialize in the installation, maintenance, and repair of high-performance Jackshaft openers designed for rolling steel doors, sectional doors, and high-lift applications.
Jackshaft openers are motorized door operators that use a side-mounted mechanism to turn the torsion shaft directly, lifting or lowering the door evenly and quietly. This design eliminates the need for overhead rails or tracks, freeing up ceiling space — a major advantage for facilities that require unobstructed headroom for lighting, HVAC systems, cranes, or storage. These systems are ideal for warehouses, commercial garages, distribution centers, and industrial loading areas where both efficiency and reliability are critical.
Jackshaft openers offer several operational and space-saving advantages over conventional openers. They are designed for heavy-duty performance and can handle large, high-cycle doors with ease. Because the motor is mounted on the side, these openers minimize vibration and noise, making them perfect for facilities where quiet operation is important. Additionally, their smart technology compatibility allows seamless integration with access control systems, remote monitoring, and wireless operation.
Modern Jackshaft openers come equipped with advanced safety and convenience features. From motion-detecting sensors to automatic locking mechanisms, these systems provide the highest level of security for your facility. At McDaniel Access Company LLC, we offer openers with built-in battery backup, ensuring continued operation even during power outages. Optional smartphone connectivity also enables remote access, allowing you to open or close doors from anywhere with ease and confidence.
A key advantage of Jackshaft openers is their ability to maximize space efficiency. Because they mount directly on the wall, there’s no overhead obstruction, providing clear access to ceiling-mounted utilities and improved vertical storage. This design also enhances energy efficiency by allowing doors to close more tightly, reducing air leaks and maintaining indoor temperature consistency — an essential benefit for climate-controlled facilities.
Built for endurance, Jackshaft openers are constructed from high-quality components engineered to handle heavy workloads. The direct-drive system minimizes wear and tear on moving parts, ensuring a longer lifespan with less maintenance. Our openers are compatible with a range of door types, including rolling steel doors, high-lift sectional doors, and fire-rated doors, offering consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.
