She seems so happy and excited about a garage door opener being installed. I would be too. That's how you can tell you've hit your middle ages.

[@vincei2147]

I'm not even middle ages (20's) but I'm still happy so I can use my tools and garage easily. XD

[@magicalcat1234]

Oh my god I laughed so hard thank you

[@atc06jh]

I’m 34 and need to do both doors on my new house. I’m excited as all get out lol

[@sptrader6316]

I just replaced all of my rollers. I found that just removing the rails on each side (4 bolts) allows you to replace 4 rollers at once and no damage to the track. The top roller is held by 2 bolts. Quick and easy.

[@tylercharltonart]

LOL. That ending was so awkward. I love it. Great video.

[@shawnyoung2105]

Tyler Charlton you know it ended with a mmf bisexual three way.

I highly suggest placing your vertical supports for the motor housing in a trapezoid, as in angle the arms out by 15 degrees. With straight vertical supports it will almost definitely induce swaying once a little bit of wear exhibits on those bolts. If your model doesn't allow for bending the connection points on the motor then adding some angled supports that span the two vertical supports will work also.

[@Liftmaster-sw2zy]

btw the part about the door being balanced, it was correct the first time. If the door is about 6 in or so from the floor and it stays, it's balanced.

[@uriadelar]

Lmao no one else noticed that the beginning of the video was recorded like 10-15 years later? White hair, older looking and truck from the late 2000’s, second part younger looking some color in hair, couple had outfits and hair from 90’s and cars from early 90’s in mint condition. Im sure the beginning was specifically made for a KZbin channel, and the original must have been a vhs series.

[@stephendanger1419]

when was this filmed? this couple looks like they just jumped out of a delorean from 1992.

[@mindst50mm54]

this episode is from the mid 90s. look at the clothes , or look at the drill he uses maybe 1995

[@GOAP68]

An additional maintenance step. Local door experts in may area recommend regular oiling (WD40) of the torsion spring. Reduces friction between coils which can lead to the spring breaking.

[@skatecrazy1]

WD40 is not oil or lube of any kind.

[@GOAP68]

@@skatecrazy1 Apologizes if the terminology isn't 100% correct. 2:08 Ron was talking about oiling and I used the same phrase. The main goal is to reduce the chance rust will bind any of the torsion spring coils together which can lead to the spring breaking. There's many products that will achieve this and spraying is the easiest way to apply them. WD40 is what many have on hand.

[@oldirtyjosh]

Amazingly awesome video. Everyone is happy at the end☺️

"You know, your garage door is the heaviest moving object in your house" Lol, have you been to a food court lately?

[@marvinjohnson4632]

Do you have to have the safety lights installed for the door to work

[@stonekold]

no mention of what happens to the garage door lock or what happens if the latch is in slot when you hit click to open or do you just leave unlocked for anyone to walk in?

[@chris76-01]

Yes. The garage door opener is supposed to hold it down so nobody can just lift it up. There's a release cord inside that you have to pull to operate the door manually.

[@PaoXiong86]

from day to night, dang, took them pretty long

[@shawhit3462]

Love it! Thanks Ron.

[@Btu555]

Can a single sectional garage door light like the one in video installed without a spring if I never install the opener?

[@BurtBowers]

There are many door openers today that start off @ 135$ up I am getting a new door installed soon the door installer tells me it would be additional 600$ for the opener I told him I will add one later on which I will pick up a genie for 200$ save myself some money.

[@frankjohnsonjr3413]

So what do you do with the garage door latch... Do you completely remove it or what... No one explains that part of it... Plz help...

[@leolionz3692]

the slide lock or wire lock? if so either one just leave unlocked

[@shawnyoung2105]

Frank Johnson Jr you can put a tapper on the lock bar just before the bracket so it won't lock.

[@dilliondinsmore9489]

Holding hands like yaaay "that'll be $700"

[@captainvlog]

Do the garage door kits come with angle iron?

[@chris76-01]

Most do not. You'll have to buy what you need for your unique circumstances.

[@tamarastrose]

I need a handyman,where are you located at please?

[@squeak38av]

There's no measurement for anything. How high does the opener go above the spring?

[@coolrobuxgaming]

This must be an older video as Chain Glides are long discontinued.

[@heroknaderi]

thanks

[@jessicasommy1741]

I checked a lot of handbooks with woodworking plans. Instructions from Stodoys are the best I think.

There were many times I didn't in the past, but I don't get why she couldn't unlock and open the door from the outside.

[@zarconeus]

Me dawg. Just moved in. Previous owners didn't use the garage for cars so they never needed to enter from outside.

Been in my house 22 yrs without one, but now being disabled I'm getting one installed

You can find similar projects on the Stodoys plans website.

[@adamlough6579]

There's easier and simpler way of changing rollers without bend in the track and the dude forgot to I put oil on the Springs they looked a little dry and rusted

[@1trillionviews516]

Adam Lough - can you go over that method? I gotta change my rollers and by looking at them, it seems I've got two choices: the easier and faster way of bending the track or the other way of removing each roller mount to get the wheel out. Each mount has 6 screws that are awkwardly installed so each screw will be a bitch. There's 10 wheels, 6 screws each, so 60 screws. I'm not doing that. So i was gonna bend the track. What's your better way?

[@adamlough6579]

1 Trillion Views yeah just take off the hinge take out the old roller and put in the new one. But if it's on the bottom where the bottom fixture are there is 5 different ways to do rollers

[@adamlough6579]

1 Trillion Views what kind of door do you have?

[@1trillionviews516]

Adam Lough - shoot, i cant remember. I can comment back once I'm back home tho. Thanks brother.

[@adamlough6579]

1 Trillion Views yes sir

[@SolitaryMaverick]

This must have been filmed in the early 90s. Look how old those cars are.

[@1trillionviews516]

wldmike223 - lol and the clothes and hair style.

[@frostbite1991]

at least '95 with that Lumina in the background. judging by the neighborhood, I'd assume most all the vehicles were new in that shot. The economy was doing great back then anyway.

[@michaelhoyt8963]

You out some very important steps like measuring and limits not very informative.

[@andzo8670]

[@scotttrainer9704]

That was useless 😕

[@sarazwerner8329]

I don't bend the track to uninstall rollers, just remove the carrier with a cordless impact. Easy and no damage to the rail.

[@Weezulguy]

Yeah that's a heck of an approach, right?

[@Laborchet]

Yah… as I watched this I thought “but there’s bolts… RIGHT there!”

Plastic/nylon wheels will wear quickly. Use steel wheels with occasional lubrication to the ball bearings; then keep the track clean.

Not gonna lie, the video was helpful, but I cringed at the hack job bending and hammering the guide rails like that.

[@vemcomachines9634]

Hey those "teflon" rollers are total garbage thy are just plastic and only last about 3 years

[@l337pwnage]

Yup. They don't rate those steel rollers to last all that long, but if they are regularly lubed, they can last much longer than their rated service life. Those bearingless plastic really don't have anything to lube, although you could try silicone spray, but, in my experience, once moving plastic pieces wear through the hard finish on them, they never work smoothly again.

[@sphchurch]

Don’t know if you r answering comments. If have a garage that the door is 2 feet out from the front of the house. At the house portion a support beam comes from front of house through the garage keeping me from being able to take the chain pull unit all the way above the garage door any ideas?

I'd imagine each brand is different on how to program the remotes. Wouldn't setting the limits/force be handled by the professional who came out to work on the spring?

Just take the bracket off. It's one driver and 4 screws. Why bend the track like that? So unnecessary.
