The LiftMaster 8500W-267 Elite Series Jackshaft Garage Door Opener is a premium wall-mount, side-drive operator designed to open sectional residential garage doors by driving the door’s torsion bar directly. Mounting beside the door frees up overhead space and minimizes vibration for ultra-quiet operation. Built-in Wi‑Fi enables myQ smart control from a smartphone, so you can open, close, and monitor the garage from anywhere, receive real-time alerts, and set schedules. An integrated Battery Backup keeps the door moving during power outages, and the included Automatic Garage Door Lock deadbolts the door when it closes for added security. The -267 bundle is commonly packaged with two Security+ 2.0 remote controls and a wireless keypad, along with the myQ Remote LED Light for bright, convenient illumination.
Engineered for dependable daily use, the 8500W-267 features a smooth, quiet DC motor with soft start/stop and Security+ 2.0 tri-band radio technology to help reduce interference and improve range. It includes The Protector System photoelectric safety sensors, a cable tension monitor, and meets UL 325 requirements. The opener connects to a 120V AC, 60 Hz grounded outlet (within close proximity to the unit) and pairs with 2.4 GHz home Wi‑Fi for myQ. It is intended for properly balanced sectional doors equipped with a compatible torsion spring/shaft system and is not for one‑piece tilt‑up or rolling sheet doors. HomeLink compatibility is supported in most late‑model vehicles (a compatibility bridge may be required for some cars). Installation involves mounting the operator to the wall near the torsion bar, fitting the drive coupler to the shaft, installing the automatic lock and photo-eyes, and programming remotes/keypad via the onboard controls or myQ app. This opener is a reliable upgrade or replacement choice for quiet, smart, side-mount operation in residential applications.
