I only have 8" from the bar to the wall. Will I be able to get the opener in this space? Nov 6, 2014 Melvin P Thorpe

According to installation instruction manual....you must have an 8 inch minimum space between the side garage and the end of the torsion bar. The torsion bar must extend at least 1 - 5 inches past the bearing plate.

I did not mount my lift master yet, but if this helps,the torsion rod goes into one side or the other of the jack shaft opener. I believe you need 8" to place the unit next the shaft and then slide onto shaft however much to make proper connection.

Without knowing how tall the trim is above your door it is difficult to say for certain, but I'd say that it won't work. I have 6 inches from the outside of trim to outside of trim the bar works great for me and there is room for a slightly thicker wall. However I can tell you that it wasn't designed for a thicker wall. I think the bar might be able to fit on a 7 inch thick wall but not much thicker than that. Hope this is helpful and hope that you find something that works for you!

I mounted my two openers side by side with about 18" between the two in the center of the garage , looks really good With them in one central location plus made it easy running the circuit also, only had to have one receptical for the two of them. On the length of the shaft going into the opener I went with lengthof the collar that is on the opener plus the length of the coupling that connects the shaft to the opener.Also u need to remember to have some clearance away from the bearing that the shaft runs through

If you install it on the wall, the bar is 24 inches from the wall. If you install it from the ceiling (flush against the wall) it's 12 inches from the wall. We have ours coming out of the wall, so it's 24 inches. Hope this helps.

The bar is pretty much right under the joist. If you used the grips instead of the bar you might be able to depending on where its mounted. Mine is mounted in the garage ceiling joist so I have extra room above the joist. If it's mounted in the basement on a floor joist I don't thing you would be able to do it. Also, unless you're using perfect form, you may have issues as well. I think once a person got fatigued and their form starts to waiver they may start going forward too much and face plant the joist.

I installed the bar using 2" screws into wall studs. I had to open the wall to add lumber for a good anchor point. I would not trust anchors installed in drywall. The 36" length does not work well with 16" or 24" framing.

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for the inquiry! We are very sorry to inform you that unfortunately not as we confirmed from the manufacturer. This door was designed for 46 - 46 1/8" wide opening. But we can suggest an alternative products that are adjustable form 46" to 47". There must be some kind of spacer between the wall and the profile to narrow your opening to at least 46 3/16. If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us. We always look forward to serve you better. Best Regards, Sales Team

Yes. 26" is the maximum, but any length shorter is fine. No need to cut bar as the wall attachments secure to the bar with a set screw. Good product!

The opening will be where the vertical support is. Check your height too. The taller your unit the less room you'll have around the bottom to move around

You will need minimum 7-8 inches. That will leave you with enough wiggle room just in case you have to get back there. If youre in a space where clearance is at a premium you might get away with 6 from the wall. Good luck.

The bar gap is 2.5 inches at maximum. They can be smaller depending on the size of the space it is installed in due to the adjustment.

Bottom of the bar is 8 inches - top is 10 inch. Be aware that the idiot that designed this put the screws to lock in the bar on the back side against the wall. If you cannot access this from the back or do not have sufficient room between the back of the toilet and the wall to slide the bar thru, you will have to drill a hole from the front to put a screw in. Not really difficult - just stupid design.

From the middle of one bar to the other is one inch. The open space is 7/8".

The one I got only expands to 72". You could improvise with wood blocks or something, since you're 8" short.

Sorry, my wife has this account and just forwarded this to me. I think it should connect, but you wouldn't get much depth in your cut. I have a 20" bar (which only has about 18" actual) and I was not able to cut that full depth. If you want more info, I can set it up and send you exact numbers. Just let me know. casey.sweeney@indy.govI think it is totally worth the money. I've only made large beams with it, but it's nice to have this capability for cheap

It only need like 6-8" of clearance. The website states 4-6" but I say 6-8". It's a really nice lift, excellent! The only thing I don't like about it is how the cover is supported. Take a look at their website. There is not a bar that goes all the way across, just these 12" rods. It works, but I am afraid it might put undue wear on my cover over time. I'm going to fit a pipe across the length.
