Since i have a 9′ garage ceiling moreover two 7′ door openings, when installing the doors i opted because of an 8′ track to provoke the tracks closer to the ceiling moreover out of the work area. This factor the door has to go raise a foot before it starts back, then traditional openers won’t work. For 20 yrs. I’ve been manually operating the door while occasionally looking because of an opener solution. The Liftmaster 3800 was the door answer, moreover the “laser parking assist” the spotting answer. (3″ bumper to door moreover 3″ grate to workbench, no more court tennis ball from the ceiling)
It’s been in service a week moreover works flawlessly. The quality of the operating unit, cable tension monitor, moreover lock appears very high. The resistance unit, remote, moreover light a little lesser then but seem adequate because of the job.(few moving parts). The instructions are clear moreover complete. And it comes with enough fasteners because of most installations.
My installation was a little lengthly because i’m then picky. (ran a new outlet through the ceiling to get 4″ from the power unit, the national park assist comes with 8′ of bell wire, needed 20′ – again through the ceiling, the tension monitor needed a spacer block, cut one to fit moreover painted to match the finished moreover textured wall, moreover then on) the lock just needs a 1/2″ hole instead of 3/4″ if you can jab accurately. If i did it again i wouldn’t install the lock. The door is insulated moreover very heavy, i don’t think schwarzenegger could theft it without the spring assist.
The just puzzle i had ended raise being a broadcasting issue of my own making. After setting the open travel limit to the top of the opening – 7′, the door would open but not close. The order troubleshooting section indicated the trouble was the cable tension monitor. I reflection the not the puzzle since it’s roller was 2″ from the drum as recommended moreover it was under tension with the door open moreover closed. After 20 mins. Of reprogramming, checking connections moreover rereading instructions, staring at the monitor when closing diagnosed the puzzle. When the door starts down there is a jerk which slackens the cable because of a fraction of a second allowing the tension monitor to close if the door is close to the top but not fully open. Reprogramming to 8′ pulls the cable away from the resistance a couple of inches then during the jerk the monitor movement is not enough to close. An extra foot of door travel, but it works great!
