I have a 16x7 garage door that is fortified to resist hurricane winds, would the wd832Kev have trouble opening and closing my garage door?

If I had that question I would call chamberlain directly. I am a customer I don't know specific details such as this. Good luck

i have a lighter weight door but probably not much. mine is solid wood & the unit doesn't even flinch with the weight.

This is a great machine and would likely handle the load, but if it were me with that size of door, I would go with the 3/4 horse motor.

I think it would but if you were to get the 3/4 HP garage door opener that would work best for you.

No. But I did buy another zipper door from ShelterLogic so I could drive through it. BTW this garage has been outstanding. It's lasted in teh desert sun for two years now, strong winds and my idiot neighbor bouncing hundreds of basketballs of the side of it.

I use both of my wedge-its on my garage doors, which lock and open outward. The main reason I use the wedge-it is to keep the door open all-the-way, so that I can enter the garage without having to use my hands to open the door, and to keep it opened during gusts of wind that would otherwise slam my door shut. So, if you don't want the door opened all the way, the wedge-it is not for you! I would place a piece of wood inside the door frame near the hinges large enough to keep the door from closing all the way. Sounds simple, but it works. (I used a block of wood 4x1x.5 inches, and stood it up inside the door frame with the long side standing up.) Hope this works for you. And thanks for giving me the opportunity to use my noodle to figure stuff out! Don't you just love doing that?

I had no problems with false alarms. I suppose if it was on a door that was very loose in its frame or a gate that might sway in the wind, it is possible. For a typical home/apartment type door, there should be no problem. The only issue I had was not being able to turn it off, without triggering it briefly.

I would recommend a threshold seal as well. I bought the one in the link below as I always had water coming in my garage. Both this door seal and the threshold did the trick for me.Sensible Solutions 3016 Storm Shield 16-Foot Garage Door Threshold

My opener is installed in the pull to open configuration and other then the wiggle room, I have had no problems with wind. Because there is the possibility of a little wiggle, I installed a board to my post so my dog would not be tempted to squeeze out if the slight wiggle space was detected.

It really depends on how much clearance you have above the door. In my opinion, even if it does close, it's likely going to damage the top of the door frame. I personally, don't think you'll be happy with it.

genie ga rage door openers are junk. I keep setting my limits and my garage door leaves a crack at the bottom. when the weather gets better im going to buy a chamberlain. Its too bad because they used to be the best. Its like everything else they have been sold twice and are now owned by a foreign company.

I put one on my storm door two weeks ago and it works great. No noise what so ever. Could you have the control to tight? Are you sure the noise is coming from the control? I am sorry you are having problems.

Unfortunately, no. I ended up flea-market-selling this one and buying the Staywell Medium Doggy Door. Much better product, and has a panel that slides in making it unenterable and weatherproof. Okinawa typhoons are NO JOKE, and neither is the Staywell.

Please clarify your question. As to the previous response, I haven't had any problems with the lock. Live near the coast, so have moisture/salt air and had to WD-40 a few months back to put back in working order (works like new again). My only complaint was that the key is very small and hard to "one-hand" unlocking it.

Advise checking with the manufacturer. If the door is closed, I expect it would increase risk relative to oxygen levels. Also ceiling height would be a key consideration as a substantial amount of heat surrounds the top of the unit.

I only can respond that I now have 2 buttons to close and open my garage door. My regular one and my garage butler. Hope this helps.

Hmmm I think so... I don't have a storm door however it is on a covered porch. Part of it is plastic so I suspect it will not be harmed by the elements, particularly since you have an awning.

It could depending how close it is to the sensor. We had an umbrella up and the movement from that in higher winds caused it to come on.

I don't think so. It will help keep the door in the closed position or return it to closed if opened.
