Garage door opener replacement: full video

[@YaBoyBasi]

The same thing happened to an old gx9000 i used to have because it kept having LOTS of problems so we replaced it with a 8165 and the isl950/a is still in good shape because I’m in a double garage door house.

[@bostonelevatorsaviation]

RIP the genie screwdrive. It was a great opener but the 8365 is good too

[@Urmomisfat1234-kk1hr]

How did the genius screwdriver break?

[@zacksgaragedoorserviceandr1208]

He did a pretty good job I am not gonna lie I’m really impressed how we did the emergency release rope and handle correctly I don’t see garage door installers do that well anymore some people just do it for the money you do not care about their work and if you want to you can burn the end of the rope so doesn’t fray at the end and get the emergency release handle nice and straight

I think it's fine the way it is.

Hey I was wondering where to get t rail for liftmaster 3585s cause I can’t find one

[@TBHD724]

you can get one from a garage door dealer

[@camerongizer2588]

Andy your genie ISL950 when u said it sounds different every time u open it or is cause u lubed it?

[@TBHD724]

No it's because the motor had gone bad that's why we replaced it

[@camerongizer2588]

@@TBHD724 really? cause in the beginning it was loud then the sec time it was quieter then the third time it was loud again how come the 1st 2 times it was openeing and closing and the third it wouldn't close

[@camerongizer2588]

why would the installer man put a ISL950? It looks like a G5000 with a different control button do u like the ISL950?

[@TBHD724]

It was because there was a problem with the opener, it was being really weird on the way down and we just decided to replace it. @@camerongizer2588

[@TBHD724]

It's not a G5000. This opener was an intellicode, the G5000 used dip switch remotes.

[@hamzahassan7730]

Was it always that white Genie keypad or did they at one point have the older black ones?

[@TBHD724]

We never had a black one installed out here, if that's what you're trying to ask

[@geogarages]

That has to be one of my favorite openers cause I like the color grey and the red

[@TBHD724]

For sure. Only thing to make it perfect would be having mechanical limits.

[@camerongizer2588]

Really? Cause I have a 8500 and it broke and we can’t get the 8550 or 8587 or those ones cause the ceiling is blocked off by cabinets so we need a wall mount but I will see if we can make a whole and get a better opener and why is the 8500w bad I want to know your opinion

[@TBHD724]

If you need a jackshaft opener I would very, very, very strongly suggest the genie 6170H-B. Chamberlain is starting to become cheap on the way they make their openers. They are having lots of issues with bad logic boards, travel modules, you name it. And with the stupid cable tension monitor the 8500w needs theres even more problems. If you get a chamberlain or liftmaster, believe me you will be really disappointed. The new genie jackshaft does not require a cable tension monitor, has a faster lock, wireless control panel, and is just in general much better then the 8500W.

[@TBHD724]

Scrap it

I like the genie but why u change into liftmaster 8365

Nope, it shouldn't. The 8500w is very unreliable

[@camerongizer2588]

Also why don’t u want another lift master cause there are some good Liftmaster openers

[@TBHD724]

@@camerongizer2588 right now the only liftmaster opener I really trust is the 8160WB. It's a great quiet budget opener. Liftmaster has their good openers, but they are mostly everything from 1st gen MyQ openers and backwards. If the 8550 on the big door dies, I will likely find a 315MHZ opener, the ones I would want to use would be 3265, 3240, 3280, 3585, 3595, 3840, 3850, or 3800.

@@TBHD724 interesting my grandma has that opener and its so loud and I always thought your favorite was liftmaster belt drives and I had a 8550 and it was so quiet and it worked awesome but then we got a 8500 it had so many problems when the 8500w came out i watched youtube videos on it and so many people said its awesome thanks for the suggestion
