[QUOTE="slravenel, post: 687217, member: 1068"] The track is box track. The building face is 24 ft wide so the doors will overhang a bit off the sides, but there is the real estate to make that happen. It sounds a bit odd but the way the building face is and is attached to the house it will work out sliding into a pocket of sorts. I have had several pros look at it and all have said it will work out even though it's not common to have them go off the side of the building. I thought about trying to adapt a standard opener but just wasn't sure how they really attach or if that attachment can be altered to sit anywhere along that chain. I guess I need to spend some time looking at one to see. I don't see "why" it wouldn't work turning one sideways...but just am not totally sure yet if one is up to the task of moving a solid wood 8x8 door sideways...wonder what the reduction that a garage door spring does to the weight of a normal door. Thought about a sliding gate opener also but most of those are just as expensive and mount outside in a box which I'm not too fond of. [/QUOTE]
