8500

Features

The LiftMaster 8500 model is manufactured by Chamberlain Group. If you want an extra storage space up above, have an oversized garage door, or even a cathedral ceiling, the 8500 LiftMaster model, a residential Jackshaft-type opener, is the perfectly engineered solution to fit your specific garage door opener requirements. It mounts easily on the wall (right or left side) beside the garage door, and comes with a remote 200-watt light that can be positioned anywhere in the garage. The optional EverCharge^® Standby Power System – that continues to operate your opener even when the power goes out – makes it even more convenient. Meets all UL325 requirements.

Equipped with MyQ^® technology, the included MyQ Control Panel^® when paired with the LiftMaster^® Internet Gateway allows you to close your garage door or turn lights on or off using a smartphone or computer – from anywhere in the world.

Standard security systems

Your security, our priority!

The Protector System^®

Project an invisible light beam across the garage door opening and automatically reverse the door if anything interrupts the beam while the door is going down. Sensing technology will stop the door from closing if contact is made with a person or object. Opener light turns on automatically when The Protector System's infrared beam is broken.

Interior manual release handle

This handle can be used to manually operate the garage door from the interior in the event of a power outage.

Security+ 2.0^TM

Security+ 2.0 rolling code technology eliminates frequency interference and assures a new code is sent every time the remote control is used.
Patented PosiLock^® system ensures the door remains securely locked when the garage door is closed.

Cable Tension Monitor

Specifically designed to maintain accurate tension and eliminate “cable throw,” which occurs when the cable slips off the drum.

Power Lock^TM

Power Lock - once the garage door goes down, it's securely locked with the power lock, which is similar to a deadbolt and ensures the door cannot be forced open

Warning

Garage doors and garage door openers can be dangerous if not installed and verified by a professional and not used properly. Children must be supervised by an adult when they are inside or in proximity of the garage.
