I have this model and to me, even on the highest speed setting it still feels slow when opening and closing 😢 14:56

On the first question I’d definitely look at the cables and the loops especially on them. I’ve put in my share of WD especially the 9100 and they have a small nipple compared to other brands. The loops may be too big and are coming off but definitely agree with the track being level and plumb.

Lucky you thin mints

I understand now why these have garnered a negative reputation. I recently moved into a new home that came with a 9605, installed by a reputable GD Installer. The first problem was misaligned bottom panel hinges, causing the lift cable to catch. The GD installer came and replaced the panel, using impact guns for the hinges. After their departure, I inspected the door's entire mounting hardware. Of the 100 self-tapping cap bolts and screws, about 30 were stripped. Many hinges were also crookedly installed. Instead of having the installers return and potentially make more errors, I've decided to use rivet nuts to repair the stripped holes. Rivet nuts should secure the door skin and steel bracket more firmly than the self-tapping screws ever could.

We are a shed manufacturing company and we have both metabo and milwaukee and hands down the metabo is a better gun

I like adding screws

I don’t like the line

Mine just broke (won't turn off without unplugging) and I'm wondering what the current replacement is for the opener and the Hardware/springs

We always had a good experience with Marantec and Liftmaster but primarily Marantec we had good service w them and their warranty was good we never had issues like we did w Liftmaster warranty not to say Liftmaster wasn’t a good unit but when things went wrong you would have nothing but probs getting it covered Genies the old screw drives were best or even the 1024 chains were great when they first came out but genie started moving to all this dc stuff prob due to government regulations but Maranatec was the pioneer in Dc units and we had a great relationship w them while we were in the Industry. Good times

if you use box store products you can get volume pricing usually if you buy 4 or more

This is why I charge more for genie customers installs. I don’t replace parts in genies, it’s a waste of time and I don’t charge the customer unless I repair it. I did notice the gray covers seem a little heavier than the black covers.

Honestly I might see if I can start doing Liftmaster just comparing the prices here, it’s cheaper to get a 10ft Liftmaster rail and unit than buying a chamberlain and getting the rail extension haven’t asked about the prices on the 7ft but I’d imagine it’d be the same deal

Thabks for the video! The old opener that was 20 years old was a genie screw drive. IS550/A I just threw the box away last week and the 90 day return policy ended on the 13th. Maybe theyll take it back without it, im not sure

Dave, the black cover models are 24v systems. It's the models like the 650 850 ect. Even that sideways ones. The 140v models are completely different internally. The screw drive ones that you like are 140v. Basically, any case that looks like the newer screw drives, whether it's chain, belt, screw, are all different internally than the others. Also, genie REQUIRES good clean power. They don't like power fluctuations at all. That in my opinion isn't a bad thing, you should have good power in your home/shop. Also all the 140v models have a minimum of 5 year warranty on All parts, vs 1 year on the 24v models.

After my many years of being a garage door tech, they all suck, and every opener brand is a shell of its former self. yep I said it

I forgot to delete the first part o well life goes on 😅

That recharging hose is for the Hitachi/Matbo HPT nail gun. 27:08

Awesome

I did the very same thing. Appreciate it!

Can you explain the line counting part?

Bro, watching all your videos and just followed you..... PLEASE do a video on how to use the springs app...Ill love you forever!!

Great Presentation: Clear precise and to the point without extra BS. Thank you sir.

i see chi similarities

Line is there to trick your eyes. Stamp is same size on a 21" section as 18". Makes the rails look the same even though they aren't

I just installed 2 12x12 and 12x14 good doors

Why not send it in? 5year warranty. 3year is for battery. Free label, drop off or they'll even pick up in some places. Even out of warranty 5 years down the road Milwaukee would probably send a refurbished back to you.

Like the aluminum retainer and that the seal is turned in. As far as if you have an uneven surface I order my doors with a taller seal. The line on the door might show that a header is out of wack but every 90* bend adds strength to the door.

I hate plastic bottom retainers. Aluminum is always the way to go and fold the seal inside of it to keep it from shrinking

North central has the line in there panels on classic long and carriage panel doors but not flush no micro grove just flat flush panels!

Are they selling these doors based on quality? Or lack of it? Who are they trying to compete with?

The security assy company that sells this device you MUST set up an account. So finding a dealer is hard.

Great video, described my situation perfectly, flimsy tinfoil wrapped foam core. To get by, I Tim Tool-Man’d some re-enforcement and welded it to the frame (welding on galvanized is bad practice). Door’s tag had 7/2006 manufacturers date, torquemaster failed ages ago and replaced with proper torsion springs. It sounds like I’m shopping for a new door and can cross WD and Clopay off the list.

I didn't know this existed! I recently saw a house that had a LiftMaster jackshaft and it was hooked up to a standard wall button. I've had that on my mind for several weeks.

interesting video... have a gen1 16g &18g brad guns ... I went back to my gas 2nd fix gun due to the inconsistant brad depth. anyway the gas one now has a broken wire inside somewhere that I can't locate... so have dug out the gen1 16g after over 4yrs of it not being used, tried it in the shed so I can use it Monday.... still fires as it used to ...except for the if you have it at a slight angle the brads don't sink home fully but its always been that way oh and the double hole... apparently the gen2 versions were better but it will get me going again Monday but will miss my gas one until I find the fault...

The door behind him is a Clopay...hm🤔 looks like a 9×8? with a torsion spring. The one in the picture in question is a 9100 total pack. The 9100 model door isn't very good. The hinges are pre mounted it hardly has anything to its panels in the way of insulation. The spring system is what's called a "tork tube" spring and or springs. which means they aren't able to be accessed from the top of the door. Like you can with a torsion spring. The spring of the tork tube is inside a metal shaft so you can't just patch the spring, (if.it.breaks) and order a new spring. You have to just order one. In the meanwhile the customer can't use said door. Unless you keep "tork tubes" in stock at your shop

Wait so the overhead openers don't come as direct couple? For some reason I thought they did

So I'm looking for a new garage doors. what is the brand that you recommend and recommend to customers? Right now I'm currently looking at a couple of wayne dalton models. these are the brands I'm currently looking at. Clopay Chi Haas Hörman Amarr and your recommendations don't have to be one of the brands I'm looking at.

Did you leave the light covers down? Model B2211T would have fit in that spot.

Great job !

Are haas doors more like amar or Midland?

Painfully long video, but some helpful tips, thanks

Proverbs 19:14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Team work makes the dream work

Wow what a great opener! I had no idea anyone made a direct drive on a commercial op. Can you imagine this opener with a big soft start dc motor! Dave lets get some investors together and start an Operator manufacture lol it's wild how sounds can bounce around lol Great idea to pin point oil at certain wear points to find your culprit.

These doors look nothing like Hormann... But I am in Europe, and all doors for European market are produced in Germany...

Clutch, bushings or bearings
