About 108" from the wall. My door is a 4 fold, overhead door, about 83" high.

Sorry I can't help. Bought this unit for someone else and it was installed by another person at a different location. I'd suggest calling the manufacturer.

The length of the track for the door is fixed, The track comes in three interlocking sections, that are approximately 3 feet long there is also a kit for 8 foot tall doors that gives you an extra 18 to 20 inches of track. I have 8 foot doors so I needed the taller kit. It may be possible to put together a shorter track section or to cut the track. In my installation the back of the motorhead is almost 11 feet from the door to lift an 8 foot door completely. If you add 3 feet to a 6'3" opening the back of the motor would need to be 9'3" from the header on your door opening. Also I did have to call the company to have two different parts replaced.

The only problem I see that when you add extension you may have to support the rail in the middle otherwise it may sag or deflect in the middle that may cause the chain sag too. Make sure when you add support it has to be attached on the top of the rail to clear the chain interference. This is 3/4hp opener will do the job. Good luck.ss

Sure, there is a disengagement rope under the motor. You have to be inside the garage to release the opener. Not unlike a 'normal' garage door opener.

thank you! we will probably try to go through the seam. the instructions on the manual only said we have to doubleloop it around the whole yard 6 feet apart. I figured there had to be a better way!! thanks.

Not sure I understand what you're going for, but the previous answer is correct in that you'll need an opening in the ceiling min 21X24. In the attic you'll need a "landing area" 16X40 with at least a 30" height to be able to swing the ladder up and down. Bit confused on the crawl space thingy... here those are under the house. Hope this helps.

I mounted mine close to the bottom of the ladder. Pick a spot where the bolts will not create any weak points on the ladder and make sure no hole is drilled too close to the bottom, I just went out and measured, my lowest hole was 4.25 inches from the bottom of the ladder. Also, I shimmed the leveler bases about 7/16th inch with aluminum shims to keep the levelers from touching the swivel grips at the bottom of the ladder. My ladder is a 28 foot werner (225 pound load rated) about 10 years or more old. Recommend you test fit all the pieces to guarantee good operation before drilling. My extensions work well. I jut bought a 36 foot Werner 225 pound load and expect to get another set of mounts for this ladder too.

I would contact the company on this. At 3/4 HP., it should do it- but the arm as sold would not pull a 10 ft door up all the way. Also , what is the.weight of your door?

1. This senor works up and down. It has a plunger that drops out of it about 2" to know if the garage door is open. (plunger is up in this picture)2. I now have a second senor not working so well. I'd be very surprised if this will work at 500'. My longest of 3 is only 45'. Maybe they work better if they are not around electrical noise like wifi and power lines.3. Look for something else.

Ours is attached at the door header and again at 112inches along the rail and continues back another 12 inches. So if you are expecting to fit the total opener system (motor and rail) in a 119inch space it won't fit. But its a great opener. Ours is suspended by brackets maybe you could do the same. Would take picture of ours but no way to send it to you. You can email me at sokolic@yahoo.com if you want a picture.

No adjustment on mine. If yours is installed as directed but not picking up movement I might suggest an exchange as ours picks up ANY movement in our 2-1/2 car garage, even on the opposite side of the unit from the garage door that it's installed to be aimed toward (if the door from the house into the garage, 180° opposite the overhead door, even starts to open the beam kicks on). Good luck

I'm just a home owner, but I did find this out for you. Must have a Redish Orange Learn Button on the back of the motor head under the light cover. I hope this helps. If not maybe you can get in touch with someone from http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/details/ref=aag_m_ss?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isAmazonFulfilled;=&isCBA;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&seller;=A1CTO3U79X1RZ3#aag_legalInfo .

There is a lever or button on top of ladder towards right side. Press/squeeze on it. It should open up.

Maybe 1/2 - 3/4 inches. You can adjust the door opener to compensate for any difference in clearance issues. Adjustment is made at the motor part of the opener.

My outer door opens outward as well (I live in Florida) and I do not use the legs that came with the ramp because I have accordion hurricane shutters and the runner for the shutter extends on the curb part of the doorway, so I just set the ramp on the shutter runner and it works well that way. I have never had a problem opening the door and it never move the ramp. My husband drives his scooter on it into the house. Hope this helps you - we are pleased with this ramp and it works for us.

I think the rail comes in sections that bolt together. You may be able to take one off and shorten the drive belt. If that is too short, they may sell an smaller extension. As assembled, mine was almost the same length as the existing opener.

It shouldn't be a problem as long as your springs are adjusted so there is very little weight on the opener. I have a 18" door and it moves it no problem, although it takes very little effort to lift my door because the springs are adjusted properly.

I had the same issue. Mine works fine. Based on what I have read, the "M" is just a revision. Make sure power is cut to the opener before you start work on it. Also remember you will need to re-program the unit to open with yuor garage door opener.
