amazing video, i had the one you replaced as well and i also replaced it with the one you installed. perfect video. only thing is mine was inactive until i manually programmed the door limits. maybe include that in your video.
I would have liked to see you demonstrate how to measure out the anchoring brackets for a new install. I finally got around to installing an opener that I've had for over 20 years. It's been sitting in the storage room for that long. I finally have a car that will fit in the garage and have to start from the beginning. Excellent tutorial other than missing that for the first timer. Thank you
Even though it says Craftsman, it's actually a Lift Master...both your new and old unit lol. Both Craftsman and Lift Master garage door openers are made by a company called Chamberlain.
I just replaced a 1960s screwdrive opener with a genie chain drive. TOP THAT!!! The old one had a motor attached the door and rotated on a stationary screw that ran thru the middle of the motor armature. Weird set up. No brand name on it. It had 3 copper strips that ran the full length of the opener. 3 brushes attached to the motor that contacted the copper strips for power. I bet the new one does not last this
I put the same garage opener yesterday, n today it won't open or close, it says "excessive weight "...wat could it be? It's a regular 2 car garage door...

Thanks Bee Bob. Yeah , that would've been nice to do the brackets but I already had them in place. Just make sure you hit a stud somewhere.
@@KrisTheSpecialist Thanks
You sold me! I will replace my Craftsman for another Craftsman. Looks simple. Great video
Thanks for the compliment! Much appreciated:)
Very informative and specific, thanks a lot for your help, bought a craftsman garage door opener and will attempt to install
Fantastic!
Your new craftsman is belt drive and I’m going to miss your old craftsman

Wow! Nothing works like the old days eh?
Hi
Great job man I enjoyed watching.
Thank you! That's nice to hear, I sure appreciate it!
Nice.
Thanks!
@@KrisTheSpecialist Thanks.
Why you didn’t show us the test for up and down?
Thats a good question, Maybe I'll show how to do that in a future video.
Your old craftsman is 1 half horse power
Did u rerun the wiring for the sensors? How did u get the new sensors on if u used the old wire thru your ceiling?
Hi Jeff,
I used the old wires and just spliced them in.
How to do it without sensor bypassing
I didn’t bypass the sensors, not sure what your question is?
I put the same garage opener yesterday, n today it won't open or close, it says "excessive weight "...wat could it be? It's a regular 2 car garage door...
I'm no expert on doors, but maybe it's the spring? There are some other videos on TH-cam that explain how to adjust the door.
My spring broke and caused the door to be too heavy and that broke the opener.
@@allotherstaken3Yep the spring is something left to experts who know exactly how much to wind it and not injure you.
