I have a very low overhead door. The opener I have now is almost flush with the ceiling. Does anyone know how close this one can be to the ceiling?

The track can be less than 0.5 inch from the ceiling--just enough for the shuttle to clear. The head unit top is the same level as the track.

I mounted mine between the rafters hanging from a 2x4. Mine is 12inches. I believe with some bracket modifications because of the gear on top and the way the rails are mounted that 8inches could be possible.

If the opener is attached directly to the bare garage door, this bracket will reinforce the garage door and the opener connects to this bracket instead of the door itself. Also if the opener is not adjusted properly it may be pushing too far down when the door closes against the ground. That should be checked.

I sent mine back - poor quailty - mine broke tyring to get it together. I am just going to go to lift master and get me another opener.

Yes, it will work. I have something similar and because of the bracing under the table I mounted it on the front as close to the end as I could. I only put the opener itself in when using it so it doesn't bother me too much having the mount there permanently.It's not difficult to mount. Being a woman I took the project on and installed it myself. I love having it. No regrets at all

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 didn't mount mine near the garage opener. Actually about 10 feet away, so it would illuminate a different part of the garage. Maybe it has more to do with the ability to see the blinking light when it is preparing to shut. In my case moving it more towards the house improved the WiFi connection.

I think it is, but I have only opened it that high once. It did take a little work to get it closed. You only have to put it up a little higher than your jar is high. Perhaps your jars are too big for the opener to work its best.

I bought two of these and they both have terrible ranges... about 12 feet. And it takes about 3 seconds AFTER the button is pressed for the door to start opening. Is your garage door opener using Intellicode I?

Advise checking with the manufacturer. If the door is closed, I expect it would increase risk relative to oxygen levels. Also ceiling height would be a key consideration as a substantial amount of heat surrounds the top of the unit.

Yes it works great on my overhead garage door. Best part if you have your car keys you have your garage door remote. Get a extra one as a back up just incase and keep it in a combination lockbox outside of your home. Incase you loose your keys one day.

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 have never had a problem closing the door once the unit is hung - however you can't have it too far towards the hinge, or then it won't close. Keep the unit in the middle or towards the opening of the door and you shouldn't experience any problems.

I am not sure of the lift capacity of the opener, however there should be enough springs attached to the door to assist with the lift. I know that if you can lift it by hand this opener will open the door. It is a great product.

No, the opener will still not function due to the lack of light sensor. But you can buy replacements at Lowes on the cheap

i don't understand your question completely. are you asking, what is the height of the light fixture because your door is five inches below the ceiling and may interfere with this light fixture?

Mine is in a closet, directly adjacent to a window - about 10 feet away. One night it was verrrrrrrrry windy out and the light kept going on and off. The slight draft must have caused the blind to move just enough to trip the light. Amazing since my house is Earthcraft - certified energy efficient, and not what I would consider drafty so it is very sensitive. Your garage door might be flexing some.

I would recommend calling the company to ask. I only have one opener in use.
