These openers are extremely reliable and will provide many years of service. Sears/Craftsman and chamberlain DIY openers have used the chain/cable since the early 1980's (probably to save money) prior to that they were full chain when they used a V-belt instead of the gears. It became mandatory some time in 1993 (I want to say January but it could have been a month or two after that) that safety sensors were required on the openers. I have the economy version of the sears opener you referenced model 139.53606. I've been doing this as a hobby since 2012 demonstrating various openers from the 1960's to current day.
Glad to hear it! Nice to have something cool and reliable! Good point, maybe the version with the steel cable did save money. Ahh it was 1993? I thought maybe it was 1991. Cool that you have the Sears opener! I know a lot of people like opener stuff and thought I would add to it :D
Sharkie626 wish I had doors like that… I have a massive heavy wood door it was installed in 1990 along with a Sears unit it lasted until 2010 when the gear inside stripped out in 2016 my neighbor gave me a 2000 craftsman it was a good opener I’ve replaced it with a 1997 genie screw drive witch works really well and it really quiet there’s some history of my door
Having loud openers are great for detecting when the garage door is opening in case if there are intruders, that will let you know. Quiet openers are good too in case you have a bedroom above it.
Sharkie626 I love all the garage door opener inside and outside lift master 8365 operation by them open and close onest and three the same time too I love your videos lots
When you said one of your openers are more noisy than the other I think it is the light lens vibrating on the opener housing from the motor vibrations. One of my parents openers has this problem.
What model doors? And if you remember what was the cost of one? I need to replace one of mine and I got to see how much it will cost: I like the 8365 too! I thought I was the only one who liked extension spring though i almost got killed by one!
There are a few things. 1. the chain on all 3 openers are a little to loose. That's y you get the slapping sound of the chain when first opening and closing. 2. The outdoor keypad, 1 can be programed to all 3 doors with 3 seprate codes. 3. I would replace all the hardware on the doors with 14 gauge hardware, will make the doors stronger/last longer. You have 18 guge hardware now, which is super think and cheesy. Just thought I would help you out. Love the video though. You should do an outside video as well.
Yeah I was wondering about the chains. One of them does sag a bit when the door is closed. When I pull on the emergency release the chain goes right back up. I've heard to not adjust it any further if it goes back to normal then. Maybe I'll see about that. My bro actually does have the kind of code pad that can operate multiple doors. I'm not sure if this one can do it though. I don't recall seeing it in the owners manuals, but I can always check again. But it's no loss, they all have the same code, and replacements are easy enough to get should they ever be needed. I do know what ya mean about the steel so I will keep that in mind. At the other house, the original double car door was an extension spring door. And that thing had 400 pound springs on it. The steel track hanger never once bent on it, and it was definitely visibly a lower gauge steel that handled it well. So far I don't see any problems with this steel. As far as I know, the steel-backed single car doors are lighter than the wood ones, and these springs I think are 160 pound (Blue color code). But if I notice anything down the road, I'll look into lower gauge. Thanks!
Ah okay! I think the hinges will be just fine. The other house has the same ones and no problems after 13 years. And it's all good! I always appreciate helpful advice.
Tighten the chain to get rid of the chain slap the Openers will be a lot quieter. Also you could have programmed the keypad to all three doors with separate codes. I would recommend replacing the hardware with 14 gauge hardware it will last a lot longer and be more durable.
I have indeed adjusted the chains since this video! I have heard about one keypad for all three doors. But I like using separate ones so that if one goes bad, I'll have two backups. The hardware seems okay, like I see no bend in the track hangers from the springs. But I will keep that gauge level in mind should I need to!
I think so! They say the steel-backed doors are extremely long lasting. The other house has had them for 14 years now, and they are still in perfect shape. I am SO glad to have chain-drive openers again, especially with AC motors.

Very nice video. I agree with you on the extension springs.

Exactly. Luckily, no bedroom right over the garage! :D
I love the My Q. You can monitor the door from anywhere in the world and open and close it too
Maybe one day they'll have a speaker. You could scare someone with a voice! Haha.
@@Sharkie626 the LiftMaster 85503 already has a camera and speaker
@@bostonelevatorsaviation Well then!

Ah that could be! I'll check that out sometime.
8:23 i honestly thought i was the only one who liked the loud openers
The more you know!
Great video, Thank you for sharing!
No problem! Glad you enjoyed!

Not too sure of the model unfortunately. These 8365s are the best. Just gotta use common sense around the springs, and ya should be fine!
I do love the nice hum of the 8365.
Same here. Ever since the other house had the openers replaced, I really missed that sound. SO glad to have it again!

i'm talking about the hinges
anyway, not trying to be rude, just helping out
Ah okay! I think the hinges will be just fine. The other house has the same ones and no problems after 13 years.
And it's all good! I always appreciate helpful advice.
Otherwise, great system. Love the humm of the 8365 A/C motor

I have the exact same door button. I also have the opener with the WiFi.
Yeah these openers are great. So nice to have a A/C motor one again!
Your doors should last longer with those chain drives as well.
I think so! They say the steel-backed doors are extremely long lasting. The other house has had them for 14 years now, and they are still in perfect shape. I am SO glad to have chain-drive openers again, especially with AC motors.
I like the extension springs too but you could possibly do a high lift on here
What's that?
@@Sharkie626 I mean you could do a high lift if u want it would make the garage look a little nicer and cooler and you can keep your garage doors
@@ParkerTheGarageDoorGuy Oh oh I see. Well, it looks good as it is already! ;)
If you didn't know these openers, they are liftmaster 8365 chain drives.
I have actually known for a while now, but thanks! :)
Epic!!!
Those openers are the liftmaster 8365
Yeppers! I learned that last year :D
That little black symbol (magnifying glass w/ +) means WIFI on the unit if that's what your thinking of.
Ahh yes thanks. Ya know, I've heard the name of it more than once, but I guess since I don't use it, my mind chooses not to remember it. Haha. :P
You only need one code pad for all three doors. You can program all three doors with different codes to the one keypad.
I have heard that, though I like having 3 separate ones. Looks more "complete", and if ever one pad fails, I'll have two backups!
you should convert the extension springs to torsion springs.
Not in a million years.
Sharkie626 there looks to be about room for torsion springs
There is room, but I don't like them as much.
Chamberlain owns liftmaster and the sears line of openers
Oh that’s pretty cool! I can see how.
Sears is not owned by chamberlain sears is owned by craftsman
how are these doing?
They're working great! Will have a video on them soon.
I have clopay doors but their big and no windows and white
Bit of a note: Belt Drives are meant to be quieter.
If they're the DC motor. I've seen AC motor belt drives before. They're about the same.
The logo is pronounced MyQ
Epic!!!!!
Thanks!
