Is the rail length the same as that of an American garage door opener? The motor must fit just right between two joists.

The overall length was the same as I used The old brackets for the new installation. My old garage opener was a Wayne Dalton 2000 model. Hope this helps.

The rail is made for both 7 & 8 foot height doors, if you follow the instructions carefully this will be no problem to install.

Yes it is the same length. I simply removed my old one and put this one up. Very nice garage door opener!

I replaced a 1980's garage door opener with this one and it was a direct replacement. I did not have to drill a single new hole or move a single bracket. Hope that helps.

I really don't know. I just ordered this additional opener because it's exactly the same as the ones that open our garage door.

Yes. It is. In the instruction, it tells you the range of the door opening it will fit.

I think that was the number for the gear on my opener. Hey, it's Amazon. If it doesn't fit, return it!!

William,This is from the specsFor use with Chamberlain garage door openers onlyI don't think I would recommend the product without contacting Chamberlain first. As you can see they say only their models.Have a super day.

According to the directions your garage door needs to be balanced (spring compensated). Then this opener would work great

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 agree with the others, I don't think it is the same. I guess you need 2 connectors to "feed" the 24 volts to the electronic of the receiver and a third connector to send the signal to the controls of the opener motor when the receiver is activated. Mike

I had a metal door that this worked good as new. As for the distance it's about a half an inch

No idea. My set-up is simple. A 19 year old exiting garage door opener and I needed a second opener. Works great and the price was right.

Hello, I have a 7ft door but the track allows for 7 & 8 ft doors. It's a great opener. Please contact me you have any other questions. Ken

We used the opener on a metal garage door that was only 36". It is a solid core door and closes fine. I hope that helps.

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.

Where do you live? In Illinois there is a place in Skokie, a Liftmaster dealer phone number 847.329 8300. they don't ship the rail assembly with the garage door opener because it's too long of a piece for ups

The holes are the correct distance. The height and width of the opener would just barely cover a new work box. An old work box would have ears/flanges that hang out beyond the edges of the opener.

I believe its going to be at least the length of the garage door, at least thats what the hubby said I hope that helps!
