Frequently Asked Questions
Which rail length do I need?
Match the rail to your door height: a 7 ft rail for a 7 ft door, 8 ft for 8 ft, 10 ft for 10 ft. This G2778 is 8 ft.
Can I use a chain rail on a belt drive opener?
No. Chain and belt drive rails are different. Use the rail type that matches your opener.
Is the opener included?
No, this is the rail only. See our garage door openers.
Can this item be shipped?
No. This item is too large to ship and is available for collection only from our Sacramento or Santa Clara store. Call ahead and we will have it ready for you.
Why Choose the LiftMaster G2778
A genuine LiftMaster one-piece rail goes up straight and stays aligned, which keeps the trolley running smoothly and the opener quiet. The G2778 is the 8 ft belt drive version.
Contact us with your opener model if you would like the rail confirmed before you visit.
