Mine says on the box no higher than 7 feet high. Why not check with home depot or lowes for other model details.

There is an extension kit that can be purchased separately it comes with the extra chain, master links, rail connector and the rail extension itself.

Hello, I bought this as a birthday gift for my beau, so I'm not absolutely sure, sorry.

Yes, There is some adjustment in the hardware for thickness of the door. It should work.

If its 8 feet tall, then yes, you will need an extension. If its 7 feet tall, no you should be fine....

Well, the top hook connects at 9" from the top of the door and slants upward to 6 1/2" from the top of the door. The lower hook connects at 10" from the top of the door and curves upward to 9 1/2". Hope that helps. I am about 5' 3" and it works quite easily for me. Debbie

The door opener is standard for a 7 foot door, but could be used on an 8 foot door as well, though that might take some minor modification.

The thickness of your door shouldn't be a problem, but the height probably would. You might want to consider constructing a wooden bracket for the tower. It is worth the extra effort.

Yes I have mine installed on a 12 foot high by 20 foot long roll up door. It's a door big enough to pull an rv in and out and it works great. Watch the video and it is easy to install after that.

Hi Steve, The Direct-Drive garage door opener from Amazon only works with 7' & 8' foot door. Ken

It should work on any normal thickness door the ceiling height should not matter it will just make shooting hard because the top of the back board is the same height as the top of the door

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.

I'm not an expert, but I know that getting the balance just right so the door neither falls down or pulls itself up is pretty tricky. Therefore I suspect that a longer length may not work well through the whole range of motion. This is a pretty tricky operation and can be dangerous. If you are not sure you should contact a professional installer.

I'm 6' and feel like mine is mounted too low on an 8' ceiling. However, people use the door to hold theirs in place and are still able to get good workouts so I would think you could just adapt the way you work out and the length of the straps when doing certain workouts. I hope that helps. I don't recall a recommendation in the manual.

The clamp definitely stretches apart wider than 8". But if your molding is higher than 6" from the door, it probably won't fit

When the unit is installed on the door, the bottom 2 hooks stick out 1 1/2 inches and the top 2 hooks are 1 7/8 inches. If you have a 2 inch clearance behind the back of the open door and a wall, then there is no conflict. I have 8 ft doors that are 1 1/2 inches thick and these are the only hooks I've found that work on tall doors

I have 8 foot ceilings, and I'm 5'1". when I put the incline up to 40 the top of my head is even with the top of the closet door which would be about 7 feet. So I don't think it would work for you with a 7' ceiling. You would have to have at least and 8' ceiling.

On the product description on Amazon it says: Easy Installation on standard doors (26 inches or wider and 76 to 96 inches tall) So it looks like 8' if the max height for which it will work.Easy Installation on standard doors (26 inches or wider and 76 to 96 inches tall)

It will do... One of my door is also 5/8" from the floor. The fins are about 1/2", but the body itself is about 1/8", and there you have the 5/8". It's actually better to have at least a 1/2" gap, because with less gap it will be to tight.
