When you hang the pull cord, leave the handle off and don't tie knots in it. If its just a straight piece of cord, the ceiminals cant stick a coat hanger thru the top and break in. If it has knots or handles, the hanger has something to grab onto.
You can also cut a pool noodle to size and put it over the string.
I did watch few videos, I like one the most especially you only want to replace the garage opener. I really going to measure my old garage opener and see i can find the exact measurements with the new. That way i won't need to replace the tracks. Shop around home depot and Lowe's tonight. Once i found the one with eact measurament, check online if i can find cheaper.
Step 1, buy a garage door opener
Step 2, install it as per namufacture instructions
Step 3, enjoy!
Good to know i can use my rail track or use an extension in case it doesn't reach to the door.
How much length do you need to install the motor and rails?
Length from red string's side to the center where motor is placed.
💥These instructions are so vague
Its been my experience the How-To videos on garage door/openers installation are the worst on CZcams.
@@Jim-oo7dk home Depot or Lowe's video instructions are one of the worst. I always like to see few videos in comparison with Lowes or home Depot.
Any with automatic locks to prevent it being opened from the outside?
Chamberlain rjo101 has a deadbolt that must be released from the inside. Others may have it also.
If my elbow piece has ripped of the garage door, can I replace it lower on the door?
Don’t know if you r answering comments. If have a garage that the door is 2 feet out from the front of the house. At the house portion a support beam comes from front of house through the garage keeping me from being able to take the chain pull unit all the way above the garage door any ideas?
You better go to home Depot or Lowe's and asked them personally. Take a picture of chained and garage opener. You can call as well, they may take forever to answer at least my local Home Depot takes forever to answer the phone.
idk how i got here... i was searching "2007 cybergoth dance fail compilations" and all of a sudden BOOM! garage door video.
anyhow,
just remember to follow manufacturer instructions.
What's annoying is I have this same opener and as I'm trying to install it , it doesn't come with the angle irons to mount it to the ceiling. Now why does the garage door opener not come with the basics you absolutely need to get the garage set up. What's the point of paying nearly $200 for a supposed kit
Because every install is different and they can't possibly include every combination of brackets and hardware for every situation. Some are mounted flush to the ceiling, mine hangs down over 2 feet from the ceiling.
Just bought a brand new house & it doesn’t come with a garage door opener I’m sooo not looking forward to doing this 🤦🏽
Same situation as you. That day has come. Today is the day. Hopefully I can get it done. Haha
I need a long cord! A light bulb with a cord plug! And a gun stapler with a chair and duct tape!
I'm not an expert in garage doors or anything. But I know that you do NOT want to grease the tracks. Clean, yes. Grease, NO. You don't want your door's wheels slipping and sliding instead of spinning. Keep your track dry and clean. @5:52
youre wrong been in the field for 12 years and grease/ spray Lube is harmless and beneficial for doors as long as they are installed correctly, should not speak on something you know little about
I wish videos did not have this annoying background music. So distracting, I could not watch it.
The only thing that distracts is the pretty girl in the video. I want her number.
Great guidance , remarkable capture .
