what is the difference between cable lifted garage door and a regualar garage door

It lifts from the current hardware already used to guide the door... The motor attaches to the shaft of the cable roller at the upper corner of the door opening.It frees up cieling clearance and is quieter. This unit is excellent. I had two Dalton's prior, and this is very quiet and smooth.Buy it, as long as u have a sectional door

This is not attached directly to the garage door itself is attached to the torsion bar above the garage door.

Cable lifted is the sectioned door that has a bar across the top with a coiled spring around it and steal cables on the end attached to the bottom of the door. Regular door is the old fashioned flat panel that flips up with a spring assisted lever.

Not sure if this is entirely correct, but it may be the difference where you either see springs that run along the top rails of the door track and the torsion bar that runs across the top of the door. Both types use cables. The Liftmaster 3800 is made for the torsion bar type.

For one thing it's a lot quieter. For the other, it doesn't have the long bar in the middle of the ceiling/track. Type in LiftMaster 3800 in Youtube and you can see the difference.

Not sure what you consider a "regular" door. Most folding panel garage doors operate by sliding up and down in a pair of tracks. They will have a bar across the top, with a couple of large springs to act as a counter-force to balance the weight of the door. Cables which lift the door, wind on drums mounted to that bar. If you don't have the bar, this opener won't work for you.

Cable lift has the springs raped around the jack shaft and standard style has the conventional pair of long springs hanging on the upper track to pull the door up. The Lift Master pulls the door up from the jack shaft with the assist of the spring. In other words if you have big long springs hanging from the end of both upper tracks the Lift Master won't work for you. Hope this helps Leon

Yes it is. Chamberlain, Lift master and Craftsman (Sears). The My Q system handles all 3 brands because Chamberlain makes them all. In fact I just bought a new Craftsman garage door opener, that was not My Q compatible . All I needed was the new control and gateway to make it work. I also have the hard wire light switch. I am able to control 2 garage door openers, outside lights and a lamp from my iPhone. Also I still have room for more.

With the extensions on the lift lever it should work with both but my door is 7 foot. Only problem I'm having now is I have to hold my button when closing the door else it reverses

The LS 050 is the Garage Door Opener and the MTDK is the Keypad on the garage door for the same. At least that is what I have. You have to synchronize the two devices and your car garage door opener, which can be done with any of the original linear controllers. If you are unsure of the procedure best hire a professional.

I really no nothing much about garage door openers which is why I like this one so much - being user friendly. I had to make sure there was a red button on the back of unit before I ordered this opener. I suggest you go to the Lift Master website and see what they suggest with your unit.

The only difference I can tell is the price markup. I have found many cable store outlets tend to charge more for their items because many feel they cannot trust purchasing items in other retail environments.

I have a dedicated router in my Mast R Lift with different speed settings. It's easy to remove the router for other uses and re-install it. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Once you've done it the first time you probably won't need the instructions again for the next time.

The Craftsman garage door opener shown in the picture (which is the exact one I was replacing), in NOT what you get...you get a Liftmaster. But, it is completely compatible with the Craftsman garage door opener and I had it working in a matter of minutes. They really should change the picture, because it is quite misleading.

I think it's just the accessories. Had mine installed with a high lift kit April 2012. I wish I had the Jackshaft opener on both doors and eliminate the 'stuff' hanging from the ceiling on the other door. It's also so much quieter than conventional.

The 3800 has a simple , spring loaded cord that you yank to disengage the drive. The door lifting is up to you at that point and is as difficult/easy as it was prior to installation. You yank the cord again to reengage the drive. This is easier than on a chain driven opener.

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.

This particular part is the component that gets mounted and wired in the garage. It's like a two-wire set-up. The smaller button can turn the garage door opener light on/off. The larger button is for opening/closing the garage door. As far as the remote, you can use just about any Genie remote. You can buy spare remotes at Home Depot to keep things simple.

I've used both and they both work great. I can't really tell the difference between them.

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.

True The LiftMaster is designed to raise and lower your Garage door that has a Torsion bar spring. It mounts on that torsion bar on either side of the door. It actually rotates the torsion bar to raise or lower the door. They work great, easy install and setup. I highly recommend it.

You have a power lift gate if you can push a button and the door opens. Otherwise, it is a non-power liftgate.

Reports from other reviewers say they are identical. CIGCWC is labeled Chamberland and MYQPCK is labeled Liftmaster. Both are for older openers where Myq is not built-in to the opener.
