- Do you need to do a garage door opener installation? Are you maybe a bit hesitant?
No worries. We all have that feeling about certain projects. This video is going to walk you step by step through how to install a Chamberlain garage door opener.

If you look online, Chamberlain garage door openers get AWESOME reviews. That's one reason I bought one. The other reason is the quietness of the opener. This especially helps if you're leaving early in the morning and don't want to wake someone.
The first step in the installation of any new garage door opener is to remove the old one. You'll need a ladder, socket wrench and drive, camera or smartphone and some gloves. It takes all of 5 minutes.
You might luck out and not have to even install any new brackets for the new Chamberlin. The directions are really simple to follow but I wanted to document my own installation so that you could see how easy it can be.
Just do one solid for yourself: make sure the support brackets are attached to joists and headers. This will ensure the new opener won't fall from the ceiling.
A big mistake is to just install the opener on drywall, hopefully the thought never crosses your mind to do this.

The absolute best video. You covered everything in simple detail. I was able to do this myself instead of hiring someone for an extra 200.00 plus dollars. Thank you so much!!
I just installed mine with this video. Oddly enough I had the same exact one you did. So this video was a big help. Works so smoothly now. Very quiet motor. Thank you sir!
I can't thank you enough for this well-made video. My opener that went bad was identical to yours, and I replaced it with a Chamberlain belt drive like yours because of this video. They owe you. Thanks.
Glad I could help, the opener had good reviews and I bought it based off those. Doing the video was really just to document that process and help anyone else who was doing the same thing. Great job installing it!!
Thanks bud, I was able to finish the work in a week. Had to do several trips to home depot. I had to move my bracket support from the attic. Glad it worked perfectly and it is way easier to do it by watching you showing the parts and how to do it. Thanks again. Now I have to tighten the torsion springs :)
i wish i was in charge of presenting awards for best info video in the shortest time, with no dead rediculous air showing absolutly no useful help with subject matter... you win !!!!
thanks man, I'll try to continue to deliver on the no dead air thing...that drives me nuts too

Installed my Chamberlain garage door opener this weekend and these instructions were super helpful! I had to figure out how to do the sensor wiring as well as the garage door button install as well but it was pretty simple (just time consuming). Thanks!!
Thank you and great to hear your project was a success!
This video saved me alot of money and time! Thank you so much! I was trying to fix my friends garage door opener/closer when I was running into a snag. Make a long story short, after watching your video, I had enough confidence to be able to repair the issue. Thank you!!!!
This video meets my expectation. I am looking forward to buying and installing a garage door opener myself. I was just looking around how this is done and this video has given me enough reason to go for it. Thank you my guy!
Thank you ! your video HELPED me install my Chamberlain garage door opener.
Would like to THANK YOU for your video. After watching your video afew times i decided to buy chamberlain hd520evp and install myself with the help of your video.
After about 3 hours unit was installed (i am 65 and slow)
The only problem i had was wiring the sensors i had mixed up wires.
I saved on having to pay someone to install and i leaned something new.
Thank you again
This is my first You Tube video review. This video is super helpful, I'm going to be replacing my opener this weekend and reviewing your video as I do so.
Thanks keep up the good work.
I was planning on changing my parents garage door opener soon and this video has helped me so much understand how it all works.
Great video! I just bought a Chamberlain and this will be very helpful!! Thanks bro!
Great video, thanks. I hope Chamberlain is giving you some love, because you just talked me into buying their product. Looks like a great replacement for my broken liftmaster.
Thanks for this video. It not only helped me decide which opener to buy, it helped me install it myself. Nice work. 👍
thank you, this is a huge help. i'm having some trouble install my new opener. this video gave me the answers i needed. cheers!
Awesome video, very user friendly for all to follow and understand. Keep up the great work.
great video, I have installed 5 or 6 in the past but this made a great refresher.. kudos!!
Thank you so much for your help your awesome!!!! Without your help I would've never been able to do it and would had to spend hundreds getting someone to install it!
I did buy this garage door opener, or similar model. Your video is pretty much spot on. I will say, I think you left out a very important step, and that is the programming of the "Travel". I followed the directions and when I had trouble, I referred to your video. Once the garage door was up, I thought I was done. I was not. Once hitting the opener, the door travel went all the way to the stop bolt! Actually, I thought this was a defect and got an exchange. This next unit did the same! After reading the directions again...pages later in the instructions, I realized I had to program the "travel". Once this was done, both units worked. While your video was spot on in installing it, I suggest to your guys watching your videos to program the travel before operating it. Also, on a another note, this garage door opener was not compatible with my 2007 Escalade SUV. A compatibility module needed to be ordered according to Chamberline support. Thank you for your video!
This video is the best! If you don't like reading the manual like me, this is better than the installation manual. Thank you so much for putting this video together.
Great video - informative, to the point, and very stress relieving. Thanks!
Hardly read the directions, watched and used the entire video to set up the garage door opener. Thank you very much for posting!
Good job. It is always helpful to watch someone go through it before I open the box and read the directions.
Thanks
Bom X glad to help any time :D
Thanks Jeff!
Outstanding video. I write Technical Manuals for a living and this video was so much more helpful than the manual Chamberlain provided. Well done!
Excellent explanation, open several lagoons, really appreciate this video
Thanks Jeff, I followed your video step by step and I didn't have any issues. great video
sweet, great job!!
Jeff, thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. I watched the video while in the garage assembling my Chamberlain 5000 that I purchased form Lowes. All the hardware is up, just need to wire it and I'll be done. I much more of a visual learner so this tutorial was a great help. Thanks again!!!
Roy Pagan awesome, super stoked to hear it helped. Great job :D
Great instruction and very helpful. It was a joy to spend the afternoon with you. Thanks Jeff!
thanks, super happy you got your project done. Hopefully you spent the rest of the day with someone a bit more fun, lol
This video is fantastic. I was trying to find 'new garage door opener installation' videos, and mainly getting results of replacing an already constructed system. I finally found this video and was pleasantly surprised. Thank you so much! :-)
Awesome video. My son and I followed the video and installed our garage door opener. Perfect. Thank you for posting. I only cursed once during thr project which means it went great
Wow! Thanks dude. Your video really helped me out a lot and was a whole lot better than reading the manual. Being able to watch it on my phone in the garage while pausing after every step was invaluable. Thank you SO much for doing this!
Awesome! Thank you for your kind words. Happy it helped, most directions for this kind of project can be a challenge
Excellent video. Tremendous amount of detail.
Thank you for posting this!!!!
I've been eyeing this exact unit. I'm definitely buying it now that I've found a wonderfully detailed video to help with the installation. Thank you! I was mesmerized by the production quality the entire way through.
Thanks, hope your installation turns out great. It wasn't that bad
Very Help full video.. Thank You so much.. I install mine watching this.
Thanks for the video! It was helpful going into my installation
Great video! VERY helpful. You're a natural.
Thank you. The instructions in the booklet were not very clear and I made a couple of mistakes. However, after watching your video, i quickly saw where I made the mistakes and was quickly able to rectify them.
Awesome Clifford, it's amazing how instructions are confusing. Glad to hear your project ended well
One of the best home inporovement videos I have seen, Thanks
Thanks William
Excellent! That is really helpful! Thanks, man!
Fantastic video! I was very intimidated by this project, but I was able to install the garage door opener following these directions step by step. THANK YOU!!!!!
+Monica111960 great job!!! It looks intimidating but after you get going things aren't so bad 👍
Jeff Patterson I'm
great video... i am now confident to tackle my replacement
Thanks for the great, informative video and the detailed close up shots. I had been a hiccup while installing mine and just didn't realize the trolley bolt isn't totally circular and I was about to drill out the hole!
Thanks Sean, glad the tips helped. Sometimes those small things can hold up a project!
Great job..!!! Excellent video. Thanks 🙏
I swear you make the best detailed and simplified videos thanks for all your videos they are very informative.
+gyver471 thanks, hope they help!
Thank you! Great video
Thank you for such a detailed video

VERY well done. Thank you!
+Glen DeHaan thanks 👍
thanks a lot for sharing, i just installed mine today bu watching you, it works!
sweet, hopefully the tips helped speed up the install
Thanks for the video!
A nice Garage Door can complement as well as add a lot of curb appeal to a home too
Great video man! Well done!
well done. Learn a lot info from this video.
All installed had a friend help me out pretty much paint by the numbers. The only issue was we couldn't use the preexisting wires that were run through the wall. The attic has a finished floor and the wires were under there. Chamberlain provided plenty of extra wire. Also the new opener was super easy to program, about as easy as pairing a iPhone to your car. Good luck with this if you attempt this DIY....
This video was fantastic. I happened to buy the same garage door opener and find your video the other day. I had your video playing in the garage, walking me through the whole install. It made the whole process super easy. It was the easiest home project I've ever done. Thanks a lot for taking the time to make the video.
That's awesome Tyler Robie, super stoked the video helped you with your opener. They can be a big challenge. You did exactly what I envision, use technology as you're working through the project. This is what makes videos so cool. Thanks for your support and kind words :D
Thank you! This information is so useful. Clear and succinct.
+Daisy Lech glad it helped
Thank you. Great video
Great video. Thanks for your time.
john sims glad to help any time :D
This is awesome, I haven an ancient opener on a garage with no door access, I plan to get a Chamberlain with battery back up but I was intimidated by the install. This vid is gonna help a lot!
+Ronin228 hope it makes your project easier
good presentation and easy to understand.
Thankyou this was helpful!
Thank you for the video. I just changed out my opener today. Watched your video before hand and it really helped out.
Thanks for the upload! Helped a lot!
+Jacob Manley thank you, glad it assisted 👍
Awesome...thank you!
Just wanted to let you know that this video made the installation of my garage door a breeze!

This video was very well done, Thanks for the help. Oh, by the way, the organ music was very inspiring.
+Gary Lundberg thank you and glad the music was inspiring 😀
Haha. Agreed!
Very cool. Thank you.
glad the vid helped
Great video!! Thank you. It cracks me up when people dislike good videos and bash them. It's easy to sit behind a computer screen and criticize people, without having done anything to contribute to society. Thank you again for a helpful video.
Great video! Thank u!
im gonna get the Chamberlain garage door openers and try to install it my self after i watched this awesome video. thanks
+hamid flayou cool 👍
“Carefully remove the box from under the garage opener..”
*punches box*
Well done video! Installed my new Chamberlain opener last night (lightning got my old one), and this video was right on target. Thanks for taking the time to document and show the process. I've got a couple busted knuckles (my own fault), but my wife is happy the garage door is back in action, and you can't beat that proud DIY feeling. Thanks!
Awesome!! Great job and glad to hear your wife is also happy...that's even more important :)
This was an excellent how to video. I think I could actually follow these instructions to install a garage door opener. Very professional and well made. Thanks.
+Mark Orr thank you, no doubt you can do this project
Yes, I did it and it went quite smoothly thanks, at least in part, to this helpful video.

Thank you for making this video, you saved me $140.
Thanks ! Nice video.
Thanks Carlos Mata
Thanks Pal!
airconditionerking you bet, my pleasure to help :D
Just installed this unit yesterday but should've watched this first. Two items slowed me: the stop bolt and the spring nut. At first thought I didn't have the stop bolt as nothing I had resembled the bolt graphic. The spring nut stumbled me too, as never used that and I noticed that you glossed over that section. The spring nut section should be exact as I suspect many are like me. Took me awhile then it sorted. thx
+apexx scout sorry you had some issues with that. I think the spring nut gave me some issues too...probably should have talked more about that
+Jeff Patterson
lol, what's odd is that for all bolt applications, the directions had a nice graphic to match up. But not so with the stop bolt. And the spring nut needed a brief and to the point sentence showing that the entire unit was one piece to be installed THEN the spring popped over the disc thingie. That little spring nut thing was totally alien to me. All good as this 3/4 hp unit with the inside door timer with motion sensor for the lights and the outdoor keypad and the quiet belt is easily the best opener ever. Just trust that it works for years.
Okay, here goes. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for the video. Wish me luck LOL,
Hey joe6pack9 - if I can do it I'm sure you can :D
