Genie Garage door openers

[@r110b]

In my old house in Kalamazoo, we had two garage doors like that. They are Frantz Filuma Garage doors made of fiberglass reinforced plastic with aluminum supports.

Hey there...I really enjoy your garage door opener videos. The fiberglass garage doors in your video were made by Frantz Manufacturing Company in Sterling, Illinois back in the 1960's and 1970's. This door type was called the Frantz Filuma Door. I have sent you a personal message to your youtube mail.

How can u tell the brand?

[@toddgann5757]

Liftmaster 1280 I grew up in Sterling, Illinois where the doors were manufactured and I can tell by looking at shape of the handle on both sides of the door. There were dozens and dozens of these doors in Sterling.

Cool man!

Garage Door Kid thanks!!

Yep these are frantz filuma doors, can tell from both the lock handle and the rib design, because other manufacturers fiberglass doors rib designs were always a little different, giving the brands their uniqueness. The frantz filuma door was a long running model, having first came out in 1959, and my frantz brochure from 1993 still has it offered, then a couple years later Wayne Dalton bought out frantz, and the filuma was discontinued. So all in all, the frantz filuma door had a long run of nearly 35 years...

oh I almost forgot, another telltale sign of the frantz door is the square hinges, which you showed here

[@matthewhayford5466]

Does this opener have battery backup. Are they going to replace the garage door.

[@chamberlainliftmasterfan-2521]

Matthew hayford Battery Backup first came available in 2011 on LiftMaster. Genie did not start using battery backup until recently

[@gripgaragedoor82]

[@IAIS96]

the garage door man 82 thank you man I was visiting him as I pull up he had three fiberglass garage doors so I video them they were from the 70s he said and the openers definitely didn't look like the original ones they might have all three been Manuel since the third door didn't have an opener

[@jonnybrussat3965]

They will add the third garage door opener and will have 3 garage door openers.
