Next question about my LiftMaster 800 door openers. 

Can I get replacement belts as one has stretched. Also I wish to move the unit closer to the door. The end of the unit is about 9'6" away from the door and there are 4 rails to guide the belts.

I would like to reduce this to 3 rails and so free the RSJ they are mounted on, (for an electric hoist).

Alternatively I see in the US you can get belt shorteners, are they available her in the UK?

I think I want 041B5669, Hopefully EasyGates sell it as US PP & duty is a bit steep.

Just an update. EasyGates had the belt shortener kit in stock. We took one rail out and shortened the belt to suit. All works ok, had to redo the start/stop positions as the belt travel distance had changed due to geometry.

One down, one to go. I need to move a car first before I can do the second one.
