I just bought a Chamberlain WD962KEV to be installed with an 8 foot door. Do I need this extension kit?

Yes you do.I faced the same problem with two of them. Bought the extensions and everything works fine.

Ooops! I was thinking 8 foot ceiling. Standard garage doors are 7 feet high. So, you'll need the extension for an 8 foot door. Sorry for my previous incorrect answer.

7' without the extension kit. I bought the extension kit and I used it for my 8' doors.

I did not need an extension, if your door is 10' you will. I had a 1/2 horse opener that wasn't strong enough for a wide door so the extra power has been great!

I am not really sure if it would. I have only installed them on 8 foot doors. There is an adjustment on the piece that attaches to the door ,but the motor and rail is only 8 feet of travel. I would go to the chamberlain web site and see if they have an answer or call the company. I am sure they would be happy to help you.

Yes, the distance will be controlled on the opener. You just need the extension.

Yes you will most likely need some additional fitting however start with the kit and add required fittings Home Depot or Lowes or Menards should have the fittings

I have a 10 foot tall door and I had to buy the extension for my door to open all the way up, so if your door is 9 foot I would think you would have to purchase the extension too for your door to open all the way up. Standard garage doors are 8 foot.

If the height of the door is 8 ft you need the extension. If the height is 7, you don't.

We bought a Genie 1/2 hp, and had to order an extension kit. I am not sure of our model #, but the extension kit worked.

Yes, this extension kit fits on the Craftsman opener. I did the install and extension 3 months ago.

The gate "as sold" only extends to 53". You can buy additional extensions to make it fit your 88" opening. You can buy extensions that are 7" or 3.5"....sooo 5 extensions that are 7" would get you to 88". Good Luck!!!

You will need the extra extensions. You also might want to consider going from both ends of the vent.

No. I used what I had when I installed it. If you need an extension to the water line, go to Home Depot and you can get one fairly cheap.

The door opener is standard for a 7 foot door, but could be used on an 8 foot door as well, though that might take some minor modification.

This opener is designed for a 7 ft door. There is an extender kit you can buy to fit 8 ft doors

Yes it will. Our doorway is 33" and we do not have any need for extensions.

The chain that comes with it only expands to the 10ft. So you cannot go any further than that. You can use the 10ft extension kit, but your garage door will alway hang down 2ft. I would call Chamberlain customer service ( and ask what products they recommend for a 12ft. door.
