No response from LM yet but a local installer has given some great info. -The 3800 and 3900 are the same under the skin, just a different warranty for each, life time vs 2 years. -They both have PLASTIC GEARS and he said that is the wear item on both. -He also said they do not install many, as...

These were the ones listed on the LM site. I will try another from a different part of town and see what they say. the drum size was 6in where the cable rides. Marc, I will call them in the am and see what LM says. I am in retail and understand showing me what may be a better product but I...

-I do not have official specs for the door, it was installed last year by the builder who built the pole barn for me, but here is what I know. -Standard lift -New non insulated steel door. -1 time per day would be alot as I don't have the time I would like to spend out there daily. Randy

Could be there is a problem with the product and LM will not back the installer. I was not told that but it does happen when a manufacturer over spec's a product and leaves the customer and the retailer holding the bag when the performance is sub-standard Randy

Kinda like that but no attitude later. Randy

On the LM website they list the 3800 to work with a 14ft tall door, not to exceed 180sq ft. I am at 168 sq ft so it should work but I do understand I am on the higher end of the specs. I am not going to use the door opener daily many times per day as I do with my auto garage door openers. The...

I have called 3 door opener installers and they said no go with using a LM 3800 on my 14H by 12W uninsulated door. The option I am being given is a $1300 installed commercial unit with a single remote. Not to sound cheap but I could pay kid next door $5 per open/close and be good for a few years...

Wasn't planned that way but she wouldn't agree.

Had some progress this week. Went with intergral color for the shop floor, the rear drive was the same batch so it is colored as well. The total job was a 12x20 rear driveway, 30x40 shop floor, and a 12x60 front driveway. Once again this happens while I am out of town for work I can start...

Can't wait to get home and check out the barn, been in Cali all week for work and didn't get to see any of the build except for pictures my wife has sent me. What a help she was this week, I think I'll keep her. Randy

A few more pics of the finished building. Now I just need concrete, electrical, and a final grade done on the lot. Maybe a couple more weeks. Randy

Shaun, It's a 30x40x16 with 2/ 12x14 doors. Big enough to get an RV in later if I choose, but really for motorcycle work space. Randy

Close, I work in Texas more than I live on Oklahoma. It is located in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Randy

Hello all. Long time lurker and fast learner during my many visits here. Tons of great ideas i plan to implement in to my shop that I have seen on these pages. I am sure I will have many questions in the upcoming weeks as far as interior finishing, both floor and walls. More pics to come, this...
