Thanks for the comments. My ceiling height is 112.5". From the top of the door to the ceiling is now .75", impossilbe for a regular door opener to work, the rod (track) that mounts above the door etc is larger than that, also since my door goes verticle before back I had to go to torsion springs, remember traditional openers pull the door back. I could have gotten around the torsion spring by adding a fake panel and moving my tracks up but I would have been at least 6" from the ceiling. I did not have 6 inches to spare.

Now it you have one big double door, you have some options but as you can see with my two doors and the small space between them options were limited. I could easily drive both doors off the one opener if I raised the other door up to the same height.
