I believe a 14x12 is in the specs of the size for this opener. Check on lift masters site, they give good details for all your questions

I have 16x9 insulated 3" thick garage doors a real heavy duty commercial type door. I worried too if it would lift it but have had no probelms at all with opener.

It will have no problem if you make sure that the spring that opens the door is set so it will lift the door.

Yes it will as long as you have right up to the botttom of aw door that opens in.

My opening is also 15". You will need to center the unit with 1/2" clearance on each side and measure the depth so that there's a little space so your door will close properly.

The screws will let it expand a couple inches. It works for a standard doorway.

Yes. But the opening will be less the length of the door. So your opening will shrink the size of the door.

I measured the rim and it is only about 3/4 of an inch deep so I believe the door would open easily if you bought one.

Make sure you are measuring the door opening and not door itself. The unit should not be altered.

I bought the smaller model ("up to 33 inch door opening") and it would have about 1.5"+ of overhang on each side of a 33" (i.e. maximum-sized) door. So the one that says 37" max will probably have at least 2" of contact against either side of a 36" door.

it states the following: 14.4 x 4.2 x 0.5 inches It is not "high" so it does not interfere with the door opening or closing...

no I do not think so....a standard door is 1.75" thick so you would have to check with manufacturer to see if they make a lock that will accommodate a door that thick.

You can probably get by with 12', as the door stops will be on the ends while the roller hardware will be inset from the door edge 6" to 12" on each side. This should allow the door to open fully without interference. Good luck!

Depends on the design of your door. Usually it'll take an extra TUG on the door, to get it to close. In general, it'll be a TIGHT fit.

I had the same question. First, you must make sure that your opening is 30 inches at 3 separate measuring points--high, mid, and low. It probably won't be. Then take those measurements and call Dreamline directly. They were incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable about the products. I ended up ordering a different door than I had originally planned after speaking to them. They are going to need those 3 measurements to advise you. Make sure to do your homework first. You don't want to have to return this HUGE wooden crate!

Having a slightly bigger opening is not a concern but there is absulutly no off level adjustment for this door! My contractor did call the company and said they were great to deal with. There are plastic strips that are included to help with any gaps minor gaps.

For your convenience, I have posted images detailing the measurements you requested. I included images of measurements with and without the protective weather cover installed for installation pruposes. Sounds like your opener will fit inside with ample clearance.

Check the weight of the door. size isn't a issue if it's within the lift weight. 650# max.

only if the door may be drilled with the door pet dimensions and the door width
