I remember with an old house the torque-limit was set too low, but it was so old-tech it wouldn't just stop it would bounce back and forth between up and down limits!

James woods during the wind fire storm said his tilty garage door wouldn't open to escape. Maybe this would have..

Nice work on the video except the background music can go. Thank you.

What pound springs did you use?

Thank you so much

excellent recomendations. Thanks a lot.

Is there a video on a one piece door and how to setup and adjust the J arm?

Great instructional video. Thank you kindly 👍

I have both the chamberlain blue cover one as well as tbe sears craftsman 75 anniversary edition units. Look identical to thiis one here as they are all chamberlain units. Would love to have the liftmaster branded one as well, i think only difference is it has a full one piece rail, and not the traditional 3 piece rail like sears sells or chamberlain if you purchase from a big box hardware store. Other than the rails, the motor heads are all identical just different branded wrapper covers. I also see there is an older craftsman chamberlain screwdive that has a bigger plastic motor cover and limit settings are behind a removable door on the side. I think that version was junk. This you have here is the 2nd version which is more compact and much more reliable. I think genie has a patent on their direct drive units as i have yet to see any other brand with the screw that runs directly through the motor rotor, even though todays genies have a coupler as well, but still same concept ss it was always with genie. Very compact units. This unit you have here works very similar to moore o matics screw drive opener as it has a belt as well. Lots of pieces to move vs genie. So i guess none if these other brands are allowed to copy genies style.

It worked for me. The problem now is, it will open but will not close. Also, thank you so much for sharing this video. YOU DA MAN!

Just ran into this video where my Holmes E900 top carriage bolt came out of the jam. I did not have the angle iron as you installed. The home warrantee has a garage door contractor coming to fix this and will ask that the bracing you did be done. Even if they don’t do it, I will do it so this issue never happens again. Thanks again for this video. Got me well prepped for the work to come.

Cam I coat the dowels in heavy duty liquid nails?

The garage kit came with the spring

thats help me out,,thanks

I didnt even need the sound on and i got it perfectly

Great job on the video! I was wondering, would this system work for a door that is more than de 7'4'' recommanded?

Any advise on how to install an emergency pull cord attachment from outside? Only way to get into garage is from the garage door so I can’t reach the emergency cord easily. Thanks

Why did the cable come of in the first place? Most likely from when the spring was new springs have to be readjusted because they loose tension after break in period. And probably was never readjusted causing slack in the cable that resulted in the cable coming off

Looks like you over tightened the set screws on the winder

Is there a specific name for this style garage door? This is exactly what we have on our condo built in the 90's

We have this style garage door that's starting to sag in the middle.The middle rod at the bottom fell out and I believe this is what's causing this issue to happen. Would you happen to have a video repairing that?

Great Video, got my pet 1993 Genie Blue Max working again with one turn of a wrench., thanks to this video. OK so, as this video explains, the door would start to close, then stop and go back up. I never knew anything about a clutch, but before disassembling the clutch (sticking out the back end of the opener), roughing up the surfaces with sandpaper, then reassembling the clutch, as this video explains so well, I just tightened the big nylon nut sticking out the back of the clutch about a turn or two, and the clutch worked properly after that. Then I did follow the instructions in this video to be more thorough - took it apart and roughed up the mating surfaces. After reassembly, with the nylon nut at the same position as I originally found it, the door was back to its old trick of going down a little, then "chickening out" and going back up. So, I tightened the nylon nut once again, probably about two turns tighter than it had originally been, and now it works great. I also oiled all the hinges on the folding sheet metal door and it seems quieter. Still, it's louder than I would hope for. I had greased the long drive screw a few months ago, which made it noticeably quieter, but it got louder again. Wondering if I need a new carriage? - trolly? whatever the unit that rides along the screw is called - would a new one help with the noise?

This is amazing. How far back does the top of the garage door go? How deep is that storage area? I want to do this exact thing and this is exactly what my parents did 45 years ago when I grew up! NICE JOB!

12 years ago and it’s still out there helping people!! Thanks man!!

I have the same hardware on my one piece. Why would my adjustment holes not be lining up. With the door all the way up the hardware appears to be in an almost up position. Hope that makes sense. Do I need to pay closer attention to the video? Thanks

Great answer to my known worry. My gear was stripped so bad the motor ran but the trolly stayed still. The motor would stop going one way but keep running the other. It makes sense to center everything. I am wondering how these plastic rods do what they do?

Still can’t get this thing to work 🤦‍♂️

In this video I understand more balancíng Mike

Hey, Your video was so helpful! I couldn't get it to connect. I wasn't engaging it properly! Thank you so much! 😃

Great video. Other people were saying push forward with the rope. You nailed it by saying to push towards the door. That was the one that did it. Thank you. A beer on me.

Thank you Huge hlep

Mike, how are you? What happens if I have 2 springs, 1 P728 and 1 P528 on each side? Is it supposed to hold approximately 120 kilos and I only have 100 of the gate? Nothing? Or yes? Thanks. One of the anchors on one arm broke, but I think the material was just a plaster cover or something. Thanks, I'm sad. If you attach it to a wooden gate and nothing happens, I attach it to cement or cement finish and it cracks. It's a pity I don't have your email to send you photos. Happy Sunday.

Thank you! Worked like a charm

Thank you!

Thank you

I'm just finding this video and I hope it works for mine because I had to undo it because of Hurricane Helene and I can't get the thing to reengage electrically...

This was amazing Mike! You covered everything! As a general I've installed a couple sectionals and even a couple roll ups and a few tilts. These tilt-ups garage doors are what I grew up with and I wish I knew what you know when I was installing them. you are a pro dude!!!

Thank you! You helped after Milton in Florida! I was able to do it myself!

Thanks! 👍

Thanks for this wonderful video. Very clear and it got my garage operating again!

The problem is that the chain catch is no longer alligned with the release mechanism. You have to manually close the door again to align the mechanism THEN snap the lever back in-place.

Perfect. After the recent hurricane, was able to easily disconnect, but could not remember how to reconnect. Thanks!

Thank you I definitely needed this, getting ready for Hurricane Milton in Ocala!

Mine was similar I just had to pull it back like you showed at the end! Thanks!

I have spent 3 days to adjust without knowledge untill I see this video, help me fix within 1hour, God bless you

Thank you so much!! The only thing I didn't do to reingage was having the garage door halfway down. I am a solo gal taking care of my Father who has Dementia. Just went through hurricane Helene. Finally got power restoration after 7 nights and 6 days without power and could not figure this out. Again, I THANK YOU!!

Thank you! Of course the owners manual did not say how to reconnect the door.

Beautiful video, quick and to the point. You’re a hero!

Thank you for the spring explanation. I was stumped for a bit.

Thank you for sharing the video. It helped me out
