I just have to say this may be the BEST tutorial on the entire TH-cam platform. Mines didn’t come with instructions in the box, but I’m glad it didn’t, I may have never watched your video. This was so helpful, and my garage door opens perfectly.
@@rmiodice5022 it is super easy to install censors. Just mount them across each other, align them most important. Lead the wires from each sensor to the motor and plug them in each corresponding slot.
Thank you so much those instructions had me stuck looking for a cable to attach to the chain had I not watched your video the door wouldn’t be done thanks again your the man 🎉
i just bought this one to install to replace a different model. mine didn't come with instructions, so this was helpful. but i just took off the old motor and replaced it with the new motor. i used the previously installed chamberlain rail and wiring. i had a belt drive, and swapped for the cheaper chain drive. so the only extra part i had to swap beyond the chain and motor, was the old belt drive pulley above the door. used the chain drive pulley that came with it and swapped out the previous belt pulley.
Great Video - Thank you very much! looking for some advice on what might be going wrong. I have everything connected but when i push the control button the unit click 4 times and not sure why. Not sure if matters but one sensor is green and the other is amber. Neither is flashing.
Dont forget to lube the big spring on top of the door, the temperature in winter makes them crack, they are in constant contact with the coils, lubrication makes it smoother to work
Very good video ! The only thing I did not see is how did you engage the trolley with chain against the manual emergency release before the you adjust the height of the the door if you can explain that please . Thank you !
Its very easy, first you must connect motor to power, connect all the wiring for the garage. Than push button to open the garage and the trolley will engage and lock in place to pull the garage.
Thank you ! I did it , it engaged and I was able to program the height , your video is the best for anybody trying to installed chamberlain D2101 garage opener .
Thank you for this video! I just bought this exact unit. Mine didn’t come with an installation manual so I appreciate what you’re showing. Could I install this using the existing rail, chain and wiring? In other words, only replace the motor.
No use new rail and chain, but sensor wiring you leave the same. Also I don’t think you can install new motor to the old rail, there is special bracket, just use new one.
I used only the motor and it worked fine. But had to watch a youtube video since mine came without any manual or instructions in order to understand the sequence of setting it up to operate properly. Was actually simple after seeing the strange sequence.
@@nazarettos6987mine makes a clicking noise when I try to move it if the sensors aren’t aimed good will they do this? How do I get them to aim at each other perfectly

@@gilbertoalexandre9346 thanks
great tutorial, I wish you described also the sensors' installation but I will figure that out. Thank you.

@@jasonschwannecke6307 sensors not aligned or wire could be damaged
@@nazarettos6987 are both sensors supposed to be green non flashing for system to proper correctly?
The best video Thank you
Thanks...glad you did this
You’re welcome. I hope this video was helpful and easy to understand.
Before performing the settings at the end, you said the door needed to be back at the bottom. How did you move the door with the chain back down?
you saved me a headache. mine came with no instruction manual
Hi I was wondering if you could do like a force test on your new Chamberlain garage door opener
Dont forget to lube the big spring on top of the door, the temperature in winter makes them crack, they are in constant contact with the coils, lubrication makes it smoother to work
I lubricated it with white lithium grease
Very good video ! The only thing I did not see is how did you engage the trolley with chain against the manual emergency release before the you adjust the height of the the door if you can explain that please . Thank you !
Its very easy, first you must connect motor to power, connect all the wiring for the garage. Than push button to open the garage and the trolley will engage and lock in place to pull the garage.
But of course you will have to remove screw driver out of that hole so that motor can pull the troley.
Thank you ! I did it , it engaged and I was able to program the height , your video is the best for anybody trying to installed chamberlain D2101 garage opener .
How do I tighten the chain further

Mine didnt come with installation manual or parts list either.
my box did not come with instructions either, nice video, thanks
Where is the cable that connects to the chain. This is all chain no cable???
Correct, there is no cable
How do you install the sensors tho??
You mount them on the side of the door rails on the buttom, make sure sensor aim directly at each other. Than guide the wires up the garage opener
@@nazarettos6987mine makes a clicking noise when I try to move it if the sensors aren’t aimed good will they do this? How do I get them to aim at each other perfectly
Thank you so much!
You welcome,just make sure to check if all the pieces locked in place, also check chain tightening
You could have just reused the T rail instead of the square rail that came with the opener
@@jeremywilliams4493 I couldn’t reuse old rail because of different mounting mechanisms for the chain and bracket.
@ oh because I’ve seen people reuse the rail if you’re replacing a chain drive with another chain drive
@ i wanted new one and quite one
@@nazarettos6987 that’s true
No instruction in the box.....There is a difference between a bolt and a nut.
