Hi All,What do you think, can I use this Door Opener at my 40 years old home for a 7x9 garage door?

I don't see why not. Mine is small like that but I did get a new door also. Call the company, they are very helpful.

If you have what is called a low lift garage door, the Liftmaster will not work and will despool the cables and drop the door.

I don't know the specifics of your garage door, but my house is 91 years old and this opener works like a charm. The garage door, in my case, is new, but the garage is very short, I guess that's how they built them in the '20s, I needed this opener because there wasn't enough clearance between the door and the rafters to accommodate a traditional opener. I was very happy when I got this opener installed.

Yes but the door needs to use torsion spring "coiled up on rod" not tension springs.

I cannot say for sure. My opener is from the mid 90's. Since it is wired and not wireless I think that there is a good chance that it would work with an older model.

I don't think it could. Best bet is to call customer support at 704-424-5787. This is the best opener I have had in 40 years. Extremely quite. Good luck.

How old is your garage door opener? I had that same problem and found out that my older garage door opener (15+ years old) only allowed 2 clicker types units to be programed/used at a time. This means when I added the keypad clicker, it bumped off one of my remotes from working. Sounds to me like this is what is happening to you. I am sure the newer units don't have this problem

Honestly I don't know......I have an old system w 3 doors......and 3 openers w one missing...they were single button......I called the tech support in my 1998 manual....chamberlain recommended it....man they were right on....they also emailed a repair manual to replace gears in opener....free....they're prices were a bit higher but she told me to go to Amazon and order for a better deal......you can't get better customer service than that! I hope this helps.Brian

I can't defenitely say, but my parking gate mechanicals are aprox. 15 plus years old too. If your current opener has the aprox. 10 pins inside that you choose your own code by selecting "1's" and "0's", then that could be a good indication that the referenced model will work for you.

I have 16x9 insulated 3" thick garage doors a real heavy duty commercial type door. I worried too if it would lift it but have had no probelms at all with opener.

I'm using it for a 720 watt fridge. I think the startup on a fridge compressor would be greater than that for a garage door opener, but have nothing scientific to back that up.

It should work. I have a garage opener that is more than 20 years old and the remote was lost. I bought a new receiver and remote from Liftmanster and replaced it and now it is working great. Good luck

It worked on a 20 yr. old garage door opener in a house I'd just bought...might be worth a try!

I wouldn't risk it. Try to get a logic board that was made for your manufacturer of garage door.

It should be fine. The only possible problem i see if if there are high winds the leverage might be an issue. This is a great opener. Might be smart to upgrade one model just to be safe...

No, it didn't work so I sent it back. I thought you can use your old garage door opener to teach this Liftmaster garage opener the old frequency but I didn't know how I can do this. I read something about to use a button on this Liftmaster garage door opener but there was no button or something else. Only one button to open the door.

i am not sure if will work. This model looked nothing like the old one so i was sceptical. I matched it with the model # of my door opener and once i received it and tried it, it worked great and is even better than the old one. I am very happy I took the chance.

I'm using the combo 535LM(commercial) with the 971LM since June. It works very well with great range. you should also verify that it will work with your current door opener.(You may have to buy a transformer to power the 535LM). HTH JerryR

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 can't answer your question since our garage door opener is 8 yrs old and I don't know the model. My opener works well and I have 2 of them for both of my cars. Did you follow directions for the fob to learn the opener code? This is a simple step but an essential one.
