I just found this forum and am hoping someone can answer my question on an install of a Liftmaster 8500W opener.
My garage door has a beam over the opening and this limits the height of the springs and shaft. I have a 4 post lift and being able to install the side-mount opener and run the tracks right up against the ceiling will be very helpful.
In the first image you can see the current track and the beam over the garage door opening. This is where I would mount the side mount opener. The second image shows my proposed new path for the track.
My question is, will there be any problem with the garage door track angling back 45 degrees at the height of the current 90 degree bend. Then extending up another 2 feet and angling back another 45 degrees to run back along the ceiling? I think this will work but want to make sure there isn't anything I am unaware of with running the track higher than the actual side-mount opener.
I look forward to any insight or advice you can offer.
Thanks!
Bill
