The sprocket on the shaft would have to be about the diameter of the cable drum. That way the opener would lift the door from the bottom with the cables instead of dragging it inward from the top.
Anybody see a problem with this setup?

Get a LiftMaster door opener. It mounts to the shaft on the end.
