Hi LB, The link is to the company I got the wrong bracket from and they made it very clear they were a parts place only and couldn't help me find what I needed! The Wayne Dalton site refers to authorized dealers, and the two local companies I called said they'd never installed a series 8000...

Hi LB, I have a series 8000 door and it says the exact same thing as the manual for the 9100. Unfortunately, I'm visual and I need a picture showing an installed brace. I think I've got it though. See my reply to Dcampbell98xj. I'll post a photo when I'm done so anyone else who might have this...

Thanks for the info Dcampbell! My door is closed most of the time because I live at the coast, so I'm not too worried about bowing, but it's another of the reasons I don't want to add a lot of weight to the center of the door. The jack shaft opener sounds wonderful, but I've already got a...

Pattenp, I didn't know about the Liftmaster 8500 until another member mentioned it. The opener is installed and ready to attach to the door, if I could just figure out how to do it. I was hoping there would be somebody on this forum who had the same situation with a centered reinforcement. It...

I have a Wayne Dalton lightweight insulated steel door with rolled inner edges. It's a 12 ft wide door with no center stile. Take a look at the photos. I'm trying to figure out how to attach a reinforcement bracket to the top panel for an opener. The inside of each panel is a thin plastic...

Well, had I known about this unit before I bought and installed my Chamberlain belt drive, I'd be using it. It sounds like a better system all around!

Hi Blackbriar. Thank you for the info. I did attach photos so don't know why they didn't show up. I have no center stile in this door, and the only place to attach is on the rolls of steel on the inside of the door. Let me go find the photos and repost in general garage forum. Hopefully...

I have a Wayne Dalton lightweight insulated steel door with rolled inner edges. I'm trying to figure out how to attach a reinforcement bracket to the top panel for a garage door opener, but I can't figure out how to attach the arm because the center of the garage door is faced with a thin...
