I would use a very short extension cord instead of messing with the outlet. They sell 1' 3-prong (with ground) shorties in places like BestBuy and such and the length of the cable they add is negligible. Be sure to secure the connection between the opener's own cord and the short extension by holding both cables together (not too tight) and placing a plastic tie-wrap around both so they cannot disconnect.Â
