    Great video. Considering the replacement of my vintage 1990's Liftmaster and this was a nice replacement walk-through. I just bought my replacement opener and watched this video again. My only "old guy" advice would be to hand start bolts you're installing, rather than starting them with the ratchet. Helps you avoid cross-threading things.

    Great video I have had seen couple of your how to videos that were also amazing. But question to you is I have a genie garage opener. It also uses a rubber belt too but you can't add a backup battery to it. So do you think it I take a short cut by just. Changing the motor and hook it up the existing rail and belt and just reprogram everything else. Your expertise would surely appreciated. Thank You.

  • @erickgutierrez7487
    @erickgutierrez7487 2 роки тому

    Did your unit come with the belt retainer piece of plastic? I noticed mine didn't, I have 7155-TKVE (from Lowes) also a belt driven model, but don't see that piece. I noticed in your video you never covered that piece so I never really thought of it. However I see other videos and they cover this piece.

    Greetings, I cleaned sensors, bought two new different remotes, erased all memory... indoor button works fine all the time. Both new remotes must be pressed several times or it works on the first time and then not. Wires seem to be fine even when I wiggle them sensors do not flicker. How can I trouble shoot the geniue motor? Installed 2004. Thank you.

    • @LRN2DIY
      @LRN2DIY  2 роки тому

      If you're referring to the way they mount, that definitely differs but you can usually work it out with what's there. For the wiring, there are typically just the sensors for the safety beams plus the main button pad, so those are pretty universal.

    I had to replace the rollers on my garage door because of wear. If yours is old that might make it quieter and prolong the life of your garage door opener/motor.

    • @LRN2DIY
      @LRN2DIY  3 роки тому

      Good point - that's probably a fairly inexpensive way to maintain things and quiet it down. We actually had made so many adjustments to my mother-in-law's garage door system that I researched replacing EVERYTHING - door, motor, track, spring, electronics, etc. and it was at least $2000 if I went pretty basic and did it all myself so anything you can do to keep things rolling is worthwhile.

    I am planning to install a security camera in front of my garage. Is it safe to drill a hole through that solid wood in the middle above the spring?

    • @LRN2DIY
      @LRN2DIY  2 роки тому +1

      As long as it's a small hole (presumably for passing a wire through?) then that shouldn't be a problem.
