Linear Garage Door Openers
Linear Garage Door Openers were introduced in 2001, primarily for professional contractors. Ted Farrell founded Linear Corporation in 1961. Shortly after, William A. Schanbacher came aboard as a co-principal and served as Chairman of the Board of Directors while Farrell served as President and Chief Executive Officer. The Linear Corporation began as a retail operation selling and installing residential garage door openers. The companies main focus soon shifted to supplying high-tech home security systems. Today, "Linear LLC offers a full spectrum of advanced alarm monitoring components, on a worldwide basis, for the residential and commercial security market." Source: www.linearcorp.com/about_linear.html The company offers security products, access control, remote control devices, and garage door openers. Linear introduced their line of garage door openers in late 2001, with primary focus on the professional installer. Retail home centers offer specific Linear security products on a private label basis to their do-it-yourself customer base. The company maintains its executive staff, sales engineering, and research and development resources in Carlsbad, California. Primary manufacturing is performed in our China facility. Linear also maintains a complete staff of engineering and manufacturing personnel in Hong Kong. May 2007 news release from Linear LLCLinear LLC announced the aquisition of Allstar Corporation, manufacturer of gate operators, commercial and residential garage door openers, and radio controls. The new company’s name is AllStar Pro LLC. “Allstar is a very good fit and a welcome addition for us,” said Dan Stottlemyre, president of Linear. “Collectively, with our complementary product lines, we can offer customers an even broader range of entry system choices.” “We are very pleased about this acquisition and look forward to the many positives made possible by a larger enterprise — manufacturing efficiencies, ongoing product improvements, and customer service enhancements,” according to Robert T. Holland, Allstar’s president. “The plan is to continue to manufacture, sell and support all of the Allstar products. Customer service operations and contact channels remain the same.” A training session for all field sales personnel was held earlier this month, said Linear. "We wanted to bring everyone together immediately, educate them about all the products, introduce some new developments, and hit the ground running, said Larry Foisie, Linear’s vice president of entry systems. Residential Garage Door Openers"Linear Residential Garage Door Openers are engineered and built specifically for the garage door professional. The heads and rails are completely interchangeable with Linear's modular design. Between three head designs, two rail types, and three rail lengths, there are 15 different combinations available to satisfy virtually any residential application." http://www.linearcorp.com/ This modular design will be especially beneficial to dealers as a much smaller inventory of parts will be required to install and service all models of Linear garage door openers. Design elements such as super quiet AC motors, high strength rolled steel T-rails and secure radio controls means that your Linear Operator will provide the ultimate in safety, security and convenience.
