Tony,
I failed to mention, my doors are all solid no windows, maybe it adds a few
extra seconds to get in working blind, but the opener is almost guaranteed
to be central to the door. That is unless you have the Liftmaster side mount
door opener that Jeff refers to.

Tony,
I failed to mention, my doors are all solid no windows, maybe it adds a
few extra seconds to get in working blind, but the opener is almost
guaranteed to be central to the door. That is unless you have the
Liftmaster side mount door opener that Jeff refers to.
