8900W Light-Duty Commercial JACKSHAFT Operator W/Built-in WI-FI for SECTIONAL Doors LJ8900W

I bought this to match the same product that we already have on another door. This opener works great on our 14-ft door on our shop/barn. It is hard-wired to a switch on the wall. It does not come with a remote opener, but with the app, your smart phone takes the place of a remote, which is very convenient. My husband was able to install this himself, but I’d still recommend hiring a professional to install if you’re not absolutely sure you have the equipment and know-how to do it yourself. It scared me seeing him standing on the top rung of that ladder, but I am ecstatic now over the ability to open the large door at the push of a button!

These are so much better than trolley type openers. When I first installed them the only thing I could hear was the garage door hinges squeaking. I lubed the hinges and now there is basically no noise and the ceiling is not cluttered by an opener. Install is also very easy, the only thing weird that I had to do was shim the tension monitor so it sat at a slight angle to keep it from intermittently tripping.

Installation was not difficult. directions were clear. In total honesty, I have bought this opener from a local store a year ago and installed it. Loved it so much , got another one and it was cheaper on Amazon . Best thing about this is how quiet it runs and how easy to program remotes. I your tracks are right I would strongly recommend it.

Reason for -1 star. Product wasn't even a year old and broke. Very disappointing considering how much it cost! For the small time we had it, it did work nicely. Contacted the company that we purchased it though here and they offered the number for technical support. Im going to call them and hoping they can help since it's not even a year old!! I will come back with an update once I talk to them! Update rating...Technical support was very helpful and after further testing declared the garage door opener faulty. Reached back out to the company we purchased it from through Amazon and they made it right. I sent the garage door opener back for a refund. I am now purchasing a new one and hoping for a better opener! I recommend this seller.

Quick and easy

These openers are very nice and quiet. Easy to install and work easy with residential and light duty commercial applications.

Garage door guy told me what to buy. Ordered on Amazon and saved. Installed. Works great. Smart technology

Do not buy a jackshaft opener unless you absolutely require one, but especially don't buy one from Liftmaster. What is not advertised is that there are a whole set of installation requirements that are not advertised with these models (e.g. in the installation instructions). It's not merely the clearances they mention. You must have a very straight, plumb and level torsion bar in order for the jackshaft opener to be able to turn the bar freely, without giving up due to "resistance". A standard opener (chain or belt) can actually tolerate a lot of imperfections in the installation of the torsion bar. If a human can fairly easily lift the door by hand, the installation is probably good enough for a standard opener. Totally not the case with this model. If there's any wobble in the end of the bar, it won't work. You also have no means of measuring that the opener gets installed perpendicular to the bar, so unless the bar is perfectly level (which allows you to measure the opener for plumb), you won't be able to eyeball a good mount to your wall. Any drywall on the wall is also a non-starter (even with studs behind it), because drywall can crush under the mounting bracket and leave you with an opener that's not perfectly square to the torsion bar. So, there's a good amount of work you may need to do on your wall, and the mounting of the torsion bar, to allow these very fragile units to function. Not at all like traditional openers. Furthermore, if you buy this and aren't one of Liftmaster's certified installers, they won't give you technical support. I called with very basic questions about their cable tension monitors, which are not answered in the manuals. These monitors are also identical to the ones used with the identical residential versions of Liftmaster's units. But, again, they will not answer your questions if you're not an "installer". Their telephone "technical support" doesn't know anything about the units, they are just performing searches in the (deficient) manuals. Really bad company to deal with, avoid at all costs.
