Mine doesn't move at all when lifting by hand..unless you pull the cord for free spin..you can also still use the slide locks on the bottom of the door.
Did not mess with the tension..the bracket on the other end holds it in place..Didn't have to add pipe..mine had enough space to add the opener then put the bracket back on.
Any way to adapt this to a regular garage door? I have two jackshaft style garage doors on my home. I would like to install two more in my workshop. But they are pricey. I was curious if there appeared to be any way to make these work. Thanks
I can't really say if it would work..rollup doors a fairly light so weight may be an issue..if you have room for the unit to fit on the jackshaft then possibly...thanks
Hey could you tell me if the thickness of the slide is a thicker heavier metal then the upper lock slide which is light duty... thin ...flimsy ... thank you
Great video, I'm wondering if the jack shaft on your door came long enough to move the bracket out far enough to mount the motor between the door and bracket or did you have to extend the jack shaft. The doors that I have only have about 1" of the jack shaft protruding through the brackets on either side, so an extension of some sort would have to be fabricated. Thanks for any info.
@@bobfrakes5552 great video I have been looking at those is your door and building Carolina carports. I also found if took the slide locks at the bottom off it goes up and down smoothly. I am going to try them after watching your video thank you Terry vero beach fl.
@@bobfrakes5552 thanks you had no problems with the plastic gears in the doors. I had overhead garage doors give me an estimate it crazy 3,200 for two doors they are crazy.everybody that looks at my doors can't believe that they used plastic gears Thanks again
I am looking into this opener, and I am wondering if it comes with the side mount bracket? Also my sprocket does not have holes on it or in it? Any idea how I would have the opener mount to the sprocket?
@@bobfrakes5552 I am okay with cutting into the drum. I am wondering does the opener come with a mount that goes to the wall that the roller sits on? My mount is a plate with a hole in the middle that the shaft goes in. I hope this makes sense.
Any issues withe the spring tension in the door drum when you first loosened the u bolt from the jack shaft/did you have to do anything to keep it from unloading?
@@bobfrakes5552 I have springs on both sides. The u bolt screws are painted red on both sides as well. Seems my u bolts are keeping the spring tension. Is yours similar?
My set up has u bolts on both ends as well..if both ends are loosened then the springs would unload..if one end is kept tight on the shaft it can't unload..I also had a strap around the door so it could not turn..your setup may be different so I can only tell you be careful and if you are unsure of your setup do some research on it or hold off altogether..thanks
@@bobfrakes5552 Well unfortunately I found out with a separate spring on each side, each saddle/u bolt is keeping tension. Figures, Im the one to have the complicated set up lol. Appreciate your time answering my questions. Take care sir.
those are 256$ = 100n right now for 1 of them on ebay, unless you get the really weak one at around 150$ = 250N i think i would rather do what you did on the other 2 doors. 1 motor 2 doors
Didn't have a specific name...I did look on ebay and didn't see any listed...not sure why..could be China trade deal...or may just be out...keep checking back.
Thanks for posting. I just ordered one.
Thank you
I have an ‘off use’ project that I believe would benefit from one of these but hadn’t seen one in actual use.
Very cool 😎 I enjoyed it.
DC is rated at 800 N=1/2 hp.
My shafts are short. There is only 3/8" from the cotter pin.
Does it have an automatic lock feature? It seems as though you could force the door open
Mine doesn't move at all when lifting by hand..unless you pull the cord for free spin..you can also still use the slide locks on the bottom of the door.
When you took off bracket to slide on opener did you need to do anything with the door tension? And did you need to add pipe to extend center axel?
Did not mess with the tension..the bracket on the other end holds it in place..Didn't have to add pipe..mine had enough space to add the opener then put the bracket back on.

Did you add door balance weights to the bottom of the door as per instructions or works without?
No..works fine without
@@bobfrakes5552 thank you Sir!!

Looks like a nice set up but my door has nothing in the end of it
If you lose power. Do you have to reset limits? Is there a battery?
No..I cut the power a couple times..and the limits were still set..thanks
Great video, I'm wondering if the jack shaft on your door came long enough to move the bracket out far enough to mount the motor between the door and bracket or did you have to extend the jack shaft. The doors that I have only have about 1" of the jack shaft protruding through the brackets on either side, so an extension of some sort would have to be fabricated. Thanks for any info.
Yes..mine were long enough to just move the bracket over and mount the opener between..an extension on your jack shaft may be your only option.
Mine also only has a little nub of pipe sticking out

As far as I know the only way to mount this is on the jack shaft..not sure it will work for you. Unless you're willing to cut holes in the door drum.

I know mine didn't come with any extra mounting options...if you checkout the opener on ebay ..it shows the mounting process and clearances.
The ones I ordered had 3 remotes for each one, I have 3 doors using them
Where did you order it from that's awesome I need three remotes.
@terrencegiordan2775 I got mine off ebay,,,, 3 years and absolutely no problems
@@terrencegiordan2775 do a search for roll up door openers and it will take you there
Do you know if you want to change the door force setting to make door rebound with little pressure is lower number or higher number?
From looking at the manual..the lower the number the lower the force..9 being max force..1 being the least..is how I understood it.
@@bobfrakes5552 thanks I cannot find my book.

Any issues withe the spring tension in the door drum when you first loosened the u bolt from the jack shaft/did you have to do anything to keep it from unloading?
The shaft is secured on both ends..I left the other end tightened down so it wouldn't unload.

The only thing that stopped me using it was that they are not homelink compatible.
I hope u will see my comment. How did u cost? And where did u broght? Thanks
Its all in the video..got it on ebay...think I paid about 160 for it then.
No safety eye? Does it reverse if it hits anything
Yes..it will reverse if it hits something.
Need help setting remote

No I don't...sorry
