We have an automatic garage door but it doesn't have the safety lasers to see if something is in the way. Will this work without the laser?

It should. Be sure it is the right model for your opener. The safety "laser" is there to tell the opener to stop and reverse because something is in the way - a car, lawnmower, a child, or you. I strongly encourage you to get this safety feature attached. It has saved damage to my vehicles and me on more than one occasion. Don't wait until someone is seriously hurt.

It works fine with the laser on a cordless mouse. I don't use it for that because my keyboard is so wide there's no room for the mouse comfortably. But it works.

Hello,This would be a good unit for ranging without a laser. With some practice you should be able to range from point blank to hundreds of yards. -Derek

no. the reciever in the house has four lights, each light can detect several units. I have two garage doors; and I also got a unit for my walk-through door, I set each door on a different light, so if one of the three is blinking, I know which door is open. very easy to use and set up. My reciever in the house is appoximatly 40 ft from the doors. hope this helps. James

As with any laser, the directions say to avoid eye contact. You might contact Maxsa to ask them the class of the laser. I use a laser pointer which is very low power and the directions say to avoid eye contact.

I don't beeline that it will if the laser is not built in the holster fits very snug without the laser

Hi Jeff. Laser distance meters require a surface to reflect the laser, so if you were measuring the outside dimensions of a house, you'd need that surface. An "L" shaped part of a building would be no problem. For a straight wall, you'd have to either have someone hold a reflective surface at one corner (a board, paper plate, etc.) or temporarily affix something to the corner to reflect the laser beam. Here's some more info from Fluke: http://media.fluke.com/documents/3361276_7103_ENG_C_W.PDF

I don't use the laser. I just don't work in that close I bought it for the light.

By now you have probably discovered that the instruction sheet is useless. You can practice detecting RF signals by using your cell phone or microwave oven. This item does detect RF signals is useless for the laser detection. Good luck

I think so. I went on a 15 year hiatus without a detector, about the time they began using lasers. After getting tagged in town 3 times, with only having to pay one, I decided to return to a tool. It works very well for me, has everything I need.

I suggest you see "installation notes for a two-car garage" here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2AZZ6GYOCFSGS/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B0008D6NK0&linkCode;=&nodeID;=&tag;=While per the other answers the 2-laser unit seems to work, I think there are advantages to using two single-laser units instead, stemming from the fact that they can be aimed completely independently of one-another.

No. Using it without a deadbolt might even violate your local residential building code for external access doors.I ended up using on the house door leading to the interior garage. For my exterior doors, I used electronic self-locking deadbolts from Schlage.

The laser will work on anything. Probably won't be very vissible in bright daylight though.

Yes and no. The yes part has to do with a built in "hold button" that overrides the night auto-close function but the "no" part is that when it starts getting dark the unit will override the "hold" button and close the garage door anyway. Note: If you have a need to override that also (if it's getting dark-ish) and you STILL want to keep the garage door open ANYWAY, simply switch off the power using the built-in on-off switch and that will totally disable the unit - you can keep the door open as long as you like. I've had mine for several years now and it works great. Hint: When installing the unit, put it in a place where it can easily "see" the outside light levels. If you bury it deep inside your garage, it will "think" its dark all the time or that sundown is coming much sooner than is appropriate. Hope that helps ya..

Yes it would it works separate from the garage door opener. Part of the unit attaches to the garage door. When the door goes up the unit activates that the door is open. There actually are two parts to the system the sending unit and a receiver that indicates when the door is open or closed.

NO !This laser device is very hard to use. Is still on my ceiling but, I don't use it anymore. You need too many back and forward movements to be in a specific position. From my opinion this item is useless.
