Subject: You should look in to a Liftmaster 3800. Will have 2 put in next week I hope. Author: eaglecomm : member since March, 2006 : 3813 posts Posted on: 2007-04-06 14:07:22

Helps with the garage door opener over the car issue. I will also be having them do a 'high-lift' setup for the garage door so it raises as close to the ceiling as possible.
