For an increasing number of homeowners, the garage is now serving as an additional functional space within the home. This trend has led to new and unique garage designs with very low, cathedral or obstructed ceilings, which are being adopted by builders, as they add depth and style to this newfound functional space. Since many of these applications are not compatible with traditional ceiling mounted garage door openers, Chamberlain introduced the side-mounted LiftMaster Residential Jackshaft Opener (RJO). Using a wall-mount installation, the RJO simply mounts on the left or right side of the door and attaches to the garage door torsion bar, resulting in no rails to hang while freeing up valuable storage space on the garage ceiling.This innovative, space-saving opener features an ultra-quiet 24V DC motor. The 3800 is compatible with sectional doors up to 14-feet high. In addition, the model 3800 is UL325 approved and meets all UL325 requirements. For added safety, security and convenience, the RJO comes with The Protector System®, which projects an invisible light beam across the garage door opening and automatically reverses the door if anything interrupts the beam while door is going down. It is also equipped with the patented PosiLock® system. This securely locks the door in place when the garage door is fully closed, ensuring the door cannot be forced open. Additional installation features include push button limit settings and automatic force sensing that allows for faster set up, and continually monitors the garage door system and adjusts forces to temperature fluctuations, floor height and door track movement. Quick-Connect terminals allow for push-in wiring for quicker installation, and a 6-foot power cord makes connecting to a power source easy and accessible. The Residential Jackshaft Opener Model 3800 has a lifetime motor warranty and a five-year parts warranty.
