I need to install this on an 8 ft overhead door. Anyone know if there is a restriction on height?Do I need an extention kit for 8ft doors?

I don't believe there is however you can call Chamberlain to make sure....they have an 800 number to call.

Included in the package with the gate are extensions to equal the width in the product description. If your doorway is larger than that you will need to purchase the separate extension kit.

Hi Mario! Thank you for your question. The extension will only work with the 8' Orion crane making for a total of 12'. The smaller 4' Orion Jr. crane does not have the capability to have an extension added to it.

I have 8' doors and there is about another 6" of play with mine up. It does not stretch but you can alter the length. Hope this helps some

I used a 24 inch extension and than felt it was to long thus went with a 12 inch. I do not see why it would not work but you may have to add wiring if you are going to drop 3 feet from ceiling, Fan is quiet and also does not vibrate thus I can not see why it would not work,

I have a 10 foot tall door and I had to buy the extension for my door to open all the way up, so if your door is 9 foot I would think you would have to purchase the extension too for your door to open all the way up. Standard garage doors are 8 foot.

I would check the Sommer website for that height. I know they have add-on rails for 10 ft high doors, along with the chain extensions.

mounting brackets will require at least 8 to 10 inches. but one of the other answers made a point, you need to be 8 or more feet above floor or it will be low when extended. I made support poles to hold and support extended awning . ( 2x2 wood )

Hi, if you have a 10' 3in celing, you will need to order the extension. I just went through the same thing and my celing is 10' and had to order. The extension that comes with the hood will only fit a 8' celing.

If its 8 feet tall, then yes, you will need an extension. If its 7 feet tall, no you should be fine....

Our ceilings are 8' and the pole works fine. There is a threaded rod that inserts into the pole at the top, and I don't remember how far it is inserted into our pole. I'm pretty sure that another 4 or 5 inches is inserted in the pole, which would let it extend to nearly 8' 6". There may be even more than that inserted into the pole. The pole is a good solid steel, so it could be cut off to make it as short as you would want.

thickness is no problem - 8' is too big a span - I think it only goes about 7'. My door is 6'7" and it was about maxed. Maybe they make longer elastics etc for the extra length but the regular unit doesn't span 8'.

Not with this extension kit. There is an extension kit with a door that can be ordered.

yes, an overhead door. You need to get on youtube and other sites and learn about installation before you even consider doing this yourself. It can be dangerous and I would hire a pro if I had to do it again.

Ooops! I was thinking 8 foot ceiling. Standard garage doors are 7 feet high. So, you'll need the extension for an 8 foot door. Sorry for my previous incorrect answer.

Hi Joe, the seller can provide you with the overhead extensions either a 12 or 14 inch extension pipe. This is from your existing pipe out of the wall. The pipe running along the wall you would need to purchase from your local hard ware stores. Regards, Steve
