Are you properly linked with that affiliate? Ace Garage Door's only review is not looking good...

Always wore Justin just bought a pair of Ariat. The lady made sure everything fit even bigger and dominant foot. Sadly she said it doesn't matter you really only get a year out of boots now. Well if u actually work. I get about 8 months out of em.

Was quoted $750 for “diamond” torsion springs and then $200 to install. Did it myself for $220 worth of parts. Wasn’t difficult and followed TH-cam videos exactly. I’ll wait a couple months before I call it a success but all works perfectly so far. St Louis Missouri

Great tips. 👍🤩

$765 + $290 for labor. Found the torsion springs, same brand online for $89 (both left and right with cones).

Good and informative video. I have one question though. The installer described how he was folding -in the ends of the excess seal on each end, but did not mention why he was doing it that way and how he did it nor why instead of trimming the excess end pieces off. What is the purpose of leaving the short excess piece and why and how do you fold it in? Does this prevent insects and rodents from getting inside the open space of the tube?

I as well learned this simple lesson too in my lifetime. Good point on this. You nailed it.

Yo are you from Arizona I recognize that architecture lmao

Get some new sunglasses too

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

myQ is an absolutely garbage app. I do various wifi connections all the time and have zero problems but this pos has been unusable for over 2 years. I picture their "tech support" (when you can understand and hear them) as some goofball nephew sitting in his parents' basement covered in cheetos. can't believe they're even in business

I think this guy is a windbag, that gives limited useful info in 18 minutes. You should know the weight of the door, which you can weigh with a scale. That determines the torsion spring size to counterbalance the weight; there’s also calculation on 2 springs or one. He tells nothing to do this, because this is a setup to call him or another to do the work. Standard torsion springs, sized properly, last about 10,000 cycles or 10 years, based on 3 cycles per day. This guy makes it like it’s a trade secret. 2 spring systems last 2x as long because the loads are distributed. Really, look at videos from people who’s actually giving info. But, if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can hurt yourself with winding or unwinding the springs which can have 300 inch pound of torque stored in 8 full turns, or mess up your lift wire. And if you do have a heavy door, like 150 lbs, it can be a bear to manage on your own. I’ve had pros come to service my doors, and twice they made mistakes, like not tightening the bolts enough and either the wheel or spring became loose, and in one, the door was uneven due to improper left and right side wheel alignment: wtf.

I like to wrap electrical tape on my drill bits as a visual indicator to mark the depth I want. For DYI'ers, your local home improvement store _may_ stock those struts if you don't have a handy garage door service company willing to sell parts. If you go online, you will probably have to get a multi-piece strut. Never fixed a sagging door, but I still wonder if "preloading" the strut would make things better, worse, or no real difference.

My garage opened just went out. It’s a Vemco 1-1/4hp? Chain driven. It’s old super old my door is heavy wood like material. I’m gonna try and match that hp with one of these retail openers. Should be simple enough. Just can’t justify paying 200$ for just installing the same item I’m gonna buy. Maybe not maybe “precision door” charges less. Just hate getting estimate or wasting peoples time. But maybe I will just call them. 😂

8yr tech here. Any sagging in a door is due to cracks in the panels compromising the structural integrity of the panel. Even with a strut, the panel will still have enough flex over 16’ to cause a snowball of issues in the next few years. Post-install struts are used, but they’re nothing more than a band-aid while we wait for a new panel or complete door to be delivered. You gave good instructions (count the windings before you add turns to make sure it’s not overwound already) but the last step should’ve been get a few quotes on replacement doors. Just my $0.02

It's the continual enshittification of consumer products because of uncontrolled greed. Anything CEOs and corporations can do to take more money out of your pocket, they will.

Would you recommend this over a LiftMaster 84505R?

What's with the quiet feature people are obsessed with..do people sleep in the garage? It can beep for all I care is a garage for God sake

Yo. Videos should include some information.

You sound like an AI voice

Adding more than 1/2 a turn is not worthwhile and has equal cons as pros. This is also in consideration that the springs have been installed awhile and are fatigued. Springs being excessively old is also a factor. The door is lighter from the bottom but now opens harder and puts more stress on the opener while opening after the halfway point and while closing until halfway down.

Hate to admit it bc I can’t afford it and my door is down… but you absolutely pay for the knowledge for people like you.. I’m still gonna do it myself bc I have to but needing the info on the springs thank You

Some issues that caught my attention. 1. You said the door is meant to be balanced everywhere. Not true. The drums are made to have a large radius for the last foot of travel. This destroys the balance on that last foot of travel so the door falls. It is designed this way on purpose because some people do not have an opener attached to keep the door closed. This prevents gusts of winds from walking the door open if the door is in the closed position. Some European doors do not have drums to prevent the winds from opening the door but here in America they are almost always designed that way. 2. Springs are a bit strange. They are usually rated for a bit more than 10,000 cycles at 30 quarter turns. If you add four more turns you will be decreasing the spring life by almost half! So now those springs will only be getting about 6,000 cycles. It's probably better, economically, to have the opener which theoretically is rated for about 80,000 openings to do a little more work. 3. You sure you have to pre-drill those tek screws when reusing the existing holes?

I wished I never got this POS !!

What an arrogant pluck. Your "talent" of installing garage door openers is not unique.

You’re definitely not getting the best boots at Boot Barn. Not even close.

I thought it was just me!!! Couldn't open from the app at all so now I know. Will never buy a Chamberlin or LiftMaster again. Thanks!!!

You could get the Chamberlain B6755T and it comes with the keypad.

I’m upgrading to a b4613T on my other b4655t

Also time for some new sunglasses - did you take those from your 10 yr old daughter?

Those that are in California, should buy it from out of state to get around stupid California law on battery requirement and safe themselves some money.

Installed Genie 7155 myself. Only issue is wifi. Specifically it will not work with repeater, also it will not work if your router security is set up as WPA 2/WPA3. it will only work with WPA2 or WPA

I watched your video on the Chamberlain B6753T but now there is a B6755T. What are your thoughts on the newer model? I do like the features you described on the liftmaster but it is a lot more expensive. Is there a newer model to the liftmaster 87504-267? Thanks! Great videos!

Hey I have a garage need fixin

So this is for someone with no front door? It should also be noted that MyQ incompatibility has become so disliked that RatGDO is now backordered and new ways to work around the API lock have emerged. Does Chamberlain really think it can compete with Google and Home Assistant integration? I mean they literally shut off access to a million cars.

So this is for someone with no front door?

I will never buy a LiftMaster/Chamberlain product again. I was using the home assistant platform (open source/free) and tied MyQ into my home automation system so the garage door would open before I was right at my garage door through a geofence (Tasker - Android App) so I didn't have to wait at the door for it to open- something you can't do with a garage door opener because it won't send a signal that far. I tied it together with my cellphone via a VPN (Wireguard, open source/free) to my LAN and it would only work if my cellphone was connected to my car through Bluetooth so that if I was walking through the geofence or in someone else's car the garage door wouldn't open. After getting all of that to work together, it certainly was frustrating when it just quit working one day. There are workarounds such as Ratgdo as another user has already mentioned, but as you mentioned in your video, to take away something that worked after a bunch of customers are using it will definitely rub your customer base the wrong way so much so that some will not only leave, but start evangelizing against Chamberlain/Liftmaster as I have. To think that people will restructure/refactor their home automation system around a garage door opener is really the tail wagging the dog. There are so many substitutes and you are absolutely right about exposing your LAN to attacks (Recommend using VLANs as well as firewall rules to isolate devices and minimize the number APIs in your system that require internet access to work such as MyQ) Thank you for posting this video! I'm done venting now.

Stick to the professional line openers. Basic/consumer grade Liftmaster & Genie openers are not reliable

Agreed! The DC motor is so quiet. I prefer it over the 83650 AC

People want to believe "they want". Truth is, most are just being sold...

Not me give me the minimum machine to lift my door

Thanks for the info, I was just trying to dial my system in. You saved me a LOT of time

What spring sizes would I use for an 16x7 8000 without windows? Or would I just get two of the one listed for the 8000 8x7 without windows?

Hi, I'm looking for a really good opener , thats quiet , almost silent, and with a 1 piece rail preferbly , i really like the build of the Hormann opener but cant find a dealer in Fl. Can you recommend an opener that is the same quality?

White Kimberly Williams Michelle Young Donald

The IPPT of your hat is 27.1 😂

How do I send you DM ?

Dude where the heck did you get that cool hat 😂

is this opener still a decent choice in Sept 2024 for $700 installed?
