How tall of a door can i use with this opener?

7' without the extension kit. I bought the extension kit and I used it for my 8' doors.

The rail comes with the box is only for 7' door. 8' door needs an extension kit.

Depends on how high your garage ceilings are. If they are 10 feet then clearance is not an issue. If they are 8 feet then the opener will hang low and COULD be a clearance issue with some higher profile vehicles.

I believe it will work with either. I can't imagine why not. The track and door attachment has plenty of length left on my 7' door. By the way I hate this opener. Way too loud.

The gate I installed it on was much smaller than 20 feet, but I think if you had enough chain and didn't overload it, it should be no problem. The opener has magnetic limit switches, very much like a garage opener. I think that as long as you have a place to mount the magnets, on your gate it could work.

I am unable to answer this question because I purchased the opener as a gift for my son to replace the one that his dog destroyed.

The can opener is 9" high, 4-1/2" wide. It will handle cans up to about 7" tall.

It depends on how heavy your gate is, there is a weight limit on this opener. You can get a opener with more power than this one.

Oh Heck Yes. This opener is plenty powerful. I have a HEAVY 1960's era Wooden 16' x 7' door and it handles it like a champ. They don't make them much more powerful than this one. I am a picky buyer, and I absolutely LOVE this opener.

The bottom of my door is 1" above top of the base plate. The base plate is 1/2" in height. Ideally, you want the bottom of the door as close to the top of the base plate as possible to give it the most resistance strength. You could add another flat piece of steel or aluminum to sandwich between the floor and base plate to raise it up. But I think it will work for you.

Hi Lorinda, I do not believe that this opener would work in that application unless the door drops directly from the bottom of the coup allowing the opener to lift verticaly as it is designed to do--Jon

Sorry but your garage door opener will not fit in this lock box. You will Ned to order a larger size.

Hi Kathy !Yes this Will work perfectly!The only concern I have with this opener : the little cover wont stay very long but except that works good !

Yes. Actually, it depends on how far from the ceiling the opener is located. The side peices are about 30" long and need to be cut to work in various situations.

Depends somewhat on the weight of the window but about 15" at the max. In general, one arm of the opener is attached near the front of the window (opposite the hinge), and the other arm is attached to the wall of the structure just below. The opener pushes up the front edge of the window; it doesn't swing it open from the hinge. So the angle of opening will depend on the distance from the front edge to the hinge.

Unknown...However, it should work. In my own house I have 9 foot doors and I used Craftsman (Sears) openers in 2006 with extensions. Basically identical items. If the door is heavy or double I suggest using 3/4HP version, that I also have used recently for a rental property.

with the door flap rolled up and secured using the provided bungee cords, the door is about 6+ft. Opening will vary depending on how tightly you roll the door flap and how level the ground is. Tall enough to get a car in but not a pick up or suv

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.
