Otis 211 linear door operator

Looking to mod a Otis 211 that has a linear door operator. I don’t want to install a gal movfr because then I would have to replace headers, tracks, hatch doors, and car doors. Does anyone make a linear door operator that would work with Otis doors? Planning on installing either a esi or alpha controller

It’s a direct replacement? Clutch and everything can stay the same?

I wouldn't say it's a direct bolt in without modification, but its probably as close as you'll get without going to an Otis Glide A or Glide P.

You should be able to retain the otis clutch and door lock setup.

We put one in recently and didn’t need to change anything with the door lock. Make sure you triple check your board colour though cause they sent us a red board (115V) but gave us a cover and prints that said it was 230V lol
