Solid install. Good detail. Genie does recommend the travel settings be set while the door is attached and the door should be about half opened/closed. This will allow for the travel setting to not lose their programming. Thanks for sharing.

Just wondering how your garage door held up over time. Mine looks identical to yours.(light duty).Genie strongly recommends a heavy reinforcement bracket on the door as well as angle running across the top lip to prevent it from tearing and buckling. They were a bit pricey to buy and I have 2 doors to do and if I thought I didn't need them I wouldn't use them. Thanks

It will sag a little but not that much. If it's not sagging below the bar when the door is closed you are probably fine. If you are seeing a lot of sagging when it lifts the door that maybe due to an issue with the springs. You also want to make sure the nuts on the side of the turnbuckle are tight otherwise the belt could loosen up.

Well, this garage door comes with all the bell and whistles of a modern day device (wifi, app, Alexa, 3D installation app). It is as easy as it gets when it comes to installing a garage door opener if you're a handy man but I would hire a professional if you're not a handy man. The problem with this Genie is that the manual and even installation app lack the details and did not emphasis important points before installation. A nice big yellow bold note "BEFORE YOU INSTALL" Points would be nice. Here comes the con: 1. You must install EVERYTHING including the ground sensor for the opener to work or it WILL NOT work. I tried to test the unit before mounting on the ceiling and it would not work. 2. You MUST program the close and open distance before using the wall mount controller. After the programing, do a complete open and close run for the motor to test the tension of your garage door. 3. The Plastic UP/DOWN/PROGRAM button are horrible and cheap. My PROGRAM button would not click due to the a defect plastic button. I had to remove the shell where the real buttons are and program from there. It's easier to do it with the shell off. It took me and another person 2 days (6 hours day) to install this due to the lack of details in the manual and the lack of important emphasis points in the manual.

Yes. You cut the brackets to whatever length you need them to be. You want the garage door opener rail to be slightly angled. But high enough that you can open the door freely and not hit the rail or opener. Your instructions should give you the angle that they want you to use if they want you to use one. But it won't be a large angle.

Is the belt moving but the carriage does not? So the carriage will catch on the turnbuckle. The belt is running through the carriage correct?

When you wired up the sensors what ever color is on top should go in number 1. The wire from both sensors. So if it's red you should have 2 reds in 1. Make sure you strip the wires back before installing them. The bottom wire on the sensor should go in 2, both sensors. For the wall control, white in 3 and the striped wire in 4. Watch from about the 7:45 mark on.

you really should reinforce the top section of garage door with a metal strut or a piece of angle iron running the full horizontal length of the door regardless of door construction. I guarantee when that spring breaks and you hit the button to operate the door, it will bend and damage that top section right down the middle.

According to Genie 3 blinks is interference in the beam. If it's 2 blinks it's misaligned or defective sensor. 4 blinks would essentially be a defective sensor. I would suggest checking all your wiring again, make sure your alignment is good, and if that doesn't help get a couple more Genie sensors and replace the existing ones. If that fixes the issue go back to where you bought it and see if you can return the defective sensors.

I actually wondered the same thing initially, but the answer is no. When you initially setup the keypad you have to hit the learn button on the opener, or the black program button depending on your model, and that syncs the keypad with the opener. If you reset the keypad you will have to resync the keypad with the opener which requires you to hit that learn or program button. The opener has to be in learn mode before it will pick up the keypad.

@@duckalum1999 So the drive socket rotates with the gear shaft on the motor, it will not spin freely. If you go to about 2:35 in the video you will see me installing the belt. I realize it does look the drive socket is rotating with the belt but it isn't, I am manually moving it. That is the result of speeding up the video. You can then see at about 2:43 I have to go back and adjust the belt because I don't have enough slack to install the turnbuckle. I am not able to just rotate the drive socket and move the belt it has to be manually adjusted. Does this help or are you asking something else?

Hi, where did you put the backup battery? I found no place to put it.

I didn't install a battery backup. If you are installing it in a garage with no access but the garage door you should install a quick release. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lavPeXuOhseCfNE

I am guessing yours came with battery backup, mine didn't. Most of the time I see them mounted on the rail above the opener.

If you have a piece of string or rope, wrap it around one sensor and the pull it across the door opening to the other sensor and wrap it around that. Then just make sure the beam follows the same line as the string.

***Why does it say in HD description : For use on sectional garage doors only, not for use on 1-piece garage doors???? please explain
@HomeRepairHub
@HomeRepairHub Жыл бұрын
It has to do with the way the door rolls us. A section door will pivot each section individually as the door rolls up. So it rolls up vs a 1 piece door which you usually pull out and then push back. There is also a difference in rail style if there is a rail. Here is a good example of a single panel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHWnaKKdrsecd5o

Well, the programming went OK but now when I use the wall switch it only goes up about a foot or two and stops. The LED red and green are on so there’s nothing in the way Jeannie wants you to wait one hour to get service.

this is a great video brother, Thank you for share. But I have a quick question for you? how much do you charge to install it ( 1 car garage just like yours). Thank you. May God bless you and your family. Unfortunately, I cannot click like Bottom more than one time. 👍👍👍😁😁😁😁

I don’t understand how the turnbuckle connects into the black thing
@HomeRepairHub
@HomeRepairHub 3 жыл бұрын
The turnbuckle will snap into place on the trolley as soon as the turnbuckle is sent through the trolley. Now if it does not, that means the release is engaged. On the trolley there is a plastic piece at the bottom with a hole in it, if that piece has the hole pointing down the release is engaged. The release is supposed to be horizontal. I don't have a video posted but look up how to manually open a garage door. It will explain how the turnbuckle connect to the trolley. It's pretty similar for all brands.
