are longer rails available? for instance a 10 ft. wide by 13 ft high door?

Yes...they do sell a 3ft rail extension kit shown on the www.sommer-usa.com web site. I'd recommend contacting their customer service to verify you know exactly everything that is required for an extended rail application in advance of purchasing the opener.

I would check the Sommer website for that height. I know they have add-on rails for 10 ft high doors, along with the chain extensions.

Yes, they are available. You can order the kit directly from the manufacturer. I spoke with their customer service and they suggested ordering the garage door opener from Amazon so I could still get the free shipping. Have had the opener for several months and it is great. Very quiet for a garage door opener, am able to "sneak" in & out without waking anyone.

Yes, the company has been very helpful in dealing with many issues like this for me. You can purchase longer rails for taller doors with no problem at all. Call the company directly for better direct servce

i don't know if longer rails are availabe, i can only say i was very disapointed with the overal quality

Check the manufacture's web site at http://www.sommer-usa.com/fittings_garage_door_opener_s/1818.htmSince the power head is in the direct drive that opens & closes the door, extensions would seem to work. I image you would need to ensure the door is properly balanced.

Extra rail lengths and chain extensions are available directly from Sommer USA

The specs are 32-36" wide, so I think it would be sightly short in width. Of course you could take the rail to your local Lowes/Home depot and have them cut you two two 1/2 " thick strips of wood the same with as your rails to make up for the difference and then paint the strips the same color as your door frame. Good luck.

Our door is 3', which is why the rail is set to 6'The idea is to be able to slide the door out of the doorway. If it's a 4' wide sliding door, you'd need another 4' to the side, so an 8' rail should work.

I think either one would work.. if you use the 12" high one it will just extend a little further above the rails. won't really matter...

There are brackets (2 top, 2 bottom) that are screwed into place (Phillips screwdriver needed) to secure the desired width. There are pre-drilled holes at regular intervals along the bottom of each rail (top & bottom) to suggest placement of brackets. It's easy to do.

Mine just showed up. I wish it were 12', but instead was 10'2.5", for my 10'6" door. So don't plan on much extra, also ends aren't cut square. Now I need to find 4" more of this stuff...

I'm not aware of any door uppers that are physically shaped different than standard full steel doors. So you should be goodf with hatever you've got. If you are looking to purchase the doors though Bestop makes good upper doors.

The divider "rails" are 10" long, and the unit is 8.5 inches wide. Hope this makes sense!

you would need a long piece of laminate. but yes, the limitation is on width not length.

Don't know. You could certainly try. You'd need a lot of them, though. It really only fits one door, approx 4ft by 8ft.

No, it won't fit. I just tried it and they're too short. Does anyone know what size to get for drawer rails that are 13" apart?

The opener chain and arm is not long enough for a door 10 ft in HEIGHT. An extension is available, which includes all hardware to handle a door 10 ft in height. The opener alone is built to open an 8ft HIGH door of WIDTH 8ft, 10ft, 12ft, or 16ft.

Personally I would cut the already existing door opening to make it larger. It's easy to do with a jig saw. Hope this helps.

The track is only long enough to lift a standard door. The company may offer a different model that would accomodate a 10 or 12 foot high door, I don't know.I do know that you will be happy with a Sommer door opener if you can find a model that suits you.Don

I'm not sure you can take up 3/8". This is designed to fit 1-3/8"-2-1/8" door. Suggest you locate viewer with the proper dimensions for your needs.

The front rail is 27" long. So this specific product is too big. It is really nice, so maybe they make a smaller version for you.

NO, these won't fit...these will only hook on rails not farther than 12.25 inches apart. Sorry...
