I had a door opener model 3850 ,and I change it for model 8550. I use the old rails and works perfect.is compatible 100 per cent. About your rail I recommend you search the advise 0f any liftmaster dealer.

Have not tried it but I think you could by going through the programming again. Instructions http://www.liftmaster.com/CatalogResourcesV3/en-us/shared/files/tucmanuals/114A3495.pdf

I agree Google your opener you'll find it there as well as all the parts for the Genie rail system. Be carefull there are two of those that look the same but have different numbers! Look at yours first for the correct number! & be sure & get a tube of tube of Genie rail grease! It's the best stuff & they sell it cheap! Good Luck!

I had a thirty year old chain drive Wayne Dalton Garage door opener, and the LM fit the rails and chain. Slipped right into the existing supports and everything.Even the obstacle sensors clipped right into the rails without drilling. The wire harness even fit the runs without much adjustment.

Your model is an older Genie opener with a chain drive it may not work, if you buy it and try it and it does not work return it to amazon. It does work with older models via a switch inside.

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

The Genie website is very unhelpful for this. I would go to: http://www.geniedoor.com/geniemaster-remote First, look up the model of your current controller (the remote you are replacing) and then see if it is compatible by comparing it to the list. This remote works with all Intellicode 1 and 2 series openers.

I have a craftsman door check the compatablity in the discription carefully , the previous answer to mine say is it is compatible with liftmasters since 1993- so Im not sure how old yours is -if it is compatible remember to follow the instructions the come with the buttons and remember the paper clip you need to push the program button it took me a grand total of 5 minutes to program 2 of these to my garage door.

Supposed to work with any liftmaster model garage door opener made since 1998.

i had a liftmaster/chamberlain with the GREEN programming button. approximate model years are 1993 to 1996, maybe up to 1999? Anyhow, i had a 1994 model. The key is the color of your programming button - if it's GREEN, then should work.

I'm not sure about the model number, the opener we have is a Sears from about 2004. I would think you would have to depend on the learn button color or get in touch with liftmaster. My bet is that it would work because of all the reviews and worked for me as advertised.

I believe that you can. I replaced my old garage opener with this one...................and I just use the existing hardware.

It worked on my Chamberlain 9400 model, purchased in 2000. The original belt lasted all those 13 years. If this belt lasts that long, it will be time for a whole new motor & everything!!

No, it will only work with newer versions of the chamberlain or liftmaster systems. The 888 will work with older models, and quite possibly your model. I made this mistake LOL, but with the right controller it has worked flawlessly.

Answer is yes. But be very carefully. Your remote if it is 310 Hz. You have to buy the new remote that support 315 hz. Otherwise it will not work. I upgraded my chamberline to the LiftMaster Security but I need to buy new remote. Not only that get the Gateway and put a camera in the garage so you can monitor if it is open or not. From there if you know it is open. You can close it from your smartphone or from myliftmaster.com web site. Hope that help

Michael, go to the YouTube video "How to install new gears in Liftmaster, Chamberlain & Craftsman operators", by "The Gatehouse".I don't take down the unit; I just use a ladder! Good luck!

I looked it up online and it appears to be a replacement for the original. If not, easy to return. My Genie opener was a 1992 model and everything worked perfectly.
