Tired of LOUD, easy to break in (coat hanger trick) garage doors? No more! Here I install the latest JACKSHAFT opener that's easier to install & the most secure you can get, all while being nearly silent. About as perfect as a garage door opener can be.

We have had this side mount liftmaster on our garage door for about 7 years. It probably has a life time of use on it already as we used it to let our dog out for all those years.

@hp7033 6 ай бұрын

I have two of these hateful things. The jackshaft only pulls the door up, it doesn't push it down. It only allows the door to 'fall' in controlled fashion. That might seem an insignificant distinction but it's important to understand because if the door is fully open (horizontal), there's not enough weight to pull the door down. You have to adjust the door so that part of the lowest section is near vertical so it can pull the rest of the door down. In my case, the door won't "fall" closed unless I adjust the limits so the door blocks about 1' from the top of my garage door opening. I need the full 10' of my opening so this doesn't work for me. As such, I have to have a plunger spring that pushes the door down until it can fall on its own which defeats the purpose of not having something on your ceiling. Additionally, when the seasons change from summer to winter or back, all the tension settings are wrong and the door won't open or close correctly and I have to get out a ladder and re-set the tensions. We get Chinook's here so even during the winter, I have to re-set the tensions before/after. My overhead door guy installed it despite recommending against it. Now I wish I'd listened to him. I want my garage doors to be reliable, I don't want to get out of my vehicle to manually intervene. These (Liftmaster 8500) don't meet that requirement.

@TheCarpenterUnion 6 ай бұрын

Have you considered slightly angling up the rails so the garage door is never fully horizontal?

@hp7033 6 ай бұрын

@@TheCarpenterUnion Every change affects the whole system in a different way. Changing that angle will make it harder for the motor to pull the door uphill when the door is nearing full 'up' and that will also be when there's the least tension in the spring which will mean increasing spring tension to compensate and then we're back to the same problem. In the 3 years I've had these doors, I've learned a lot about the many different variables that affect them with this opener. I even thought maybe my overhead door guy was part of the problem so I had an old guy from a different company come out. He looked at my install and said it was done well and that this is just the nature of the beast. One option he gave me was to raise the rails up near the ceiling and add an additional panel. But the geometry of my garage means that I'd have to change my lighting to be flush with the drywall.

A very good friend is an Overhead dealer for 35+ years and i help on installs at times. He has brought up points about these , but are doable. The best pointer from him is this, typical torsion springs are a 10,000 cycle spring, about a 7 years normal life. You should ask for a 30,000 cycle ( approximately) replacement cycle spring!!! It's a 10-20 percent upcharge but it's the same labor for 3x the lifespan. He measured my broken spring, looked on a chart to see it's replacement ( they are longer) double checked if it could fit and we installed them. Oh, more hints, 1 turn on the torsion spring for every 1 foot of garage height. 8' high door, 8 turns as a general guide to get started!! Do double check spring balancing, disconnect opener, open door half way and let go. It should stay there if it's correct, adjust accordingly! Oil your torsion spring yearly. Rust makes the spring brittle and breaks prematurely!

The difference on a regular opener is the motor's track, on Chamberlain (DIY) the track comes in 3 pieces, LiftMaster's track comes in 1 long piece, better/smoother on heavier doors. Because the track is so long, you'll not see it in DIY stores.

Have been using these for a couple of years and mostly love them. Our single car garage opener does have some issues. Since the door isn't heavy the cable tensioning system sometimes gets less taught with temperature changes. This causes the tension safety device to think the door has hit something while closing and the door raises back up. After some tinkering around we adjusted the door to stop just before it touches the ground thereby keeping the tension cable as tight as possible. Time will tell! ALso the light we have is programmed to both doors thereby only needing on light! Bravo!

@murderbeam9614 6 ай бұрын

Get yourself a Genie 6170-HB. Cable tension is built into the operation of the door instead of a separate system - it adjusts lifting force every time it opens to accommodate temperature changes and all that.

@jayjay6117 6 ай бұрын

you may need to adjust your spring tension because most garage doors are pretty darn heavy without any spring assist. I find that most doors are not set properly where they balance on their own if you manually raise it about half way. Most drop like a rock or roll upwards because there is too much or too little tension on the springs.

@kirkwilson5905 6 ай бұрын

@@jayjay6117 No, in our case we set the garage door up in winter. Then in summer the door is larger, which causes the door to contact the floor just slightly and in turn slacks the cable ever so slightly as to trip the safety. So we reset the close to be just above the floor. Does not seal completely but works for us. Our 2 car door does not have this issue.

Woah. Game changer. I gotta get an opener like this! Dude my wife is going to be so pissed off that you added another project onto my to-do list.

I've changed openers several times, never needed to chance safety sensors, the old ones (already aimed in) worked with new opener every time.

Love your video. I have this opener with cable tensioner. Works just as you described. Also, have an older overhead door opener that i wanted smart feature you mentioned, but didnt want to replace the opener. For $20 on amazon bought a meross msg 100. Which gives me all the smart features i wanted. Hope this info helps your viewers :)

Do you need the cable tensioner? Are they included?

I had to get one of these for my home because there was a hatch in the center of the celling to the attic. My house had a manual door before the jack shaft!

We built a new garage in 2019 and all three doors have this opener. Ours also has a large battery in each opener so the doors can still work when the power goes out. I also like the delay after opening. If I forget to close the door then it closes itself after a few minutes.

I love this. My parents live on top of the garage. Our house is like 1968.. so every time I open the garage door omg the noise ... I got into so many fights with my dad .. now I manually open my left garage door because it makes less noise but is still annoying.. watching your video Sir has given me so much relief ... I will look into this and see I can install this with. So mine is the chain system and old craftsman motor. Do u have everything linked here? THank you again for this amazing video .

I had considered these when replacing the 1990's genie screw drive in my house that was original. The old screw drive was not actually that loud when greased properly. Because of the reliability I replaced them with another set of genie screw drive openers.

Nice... I have a unit similar to this that was installed 20 years ago... I had two, but when one died I couldn't find a replacement so it was back to a standard garage door opener.

The wireless light is genius since most people will be replacing a traditional opener and have an outlet sitting in the middle of the garage where the original opener was!

12 point socket on square is a “get by” that often works. I have eight point sockets, as would someone in the business. I like the jackshaft approach.

@splxty2897 13 күн бұрын

I just have a 3/8 square. So I can actually fit them properly, as I am in the business.

This is really two separate products. The deadbolt can be added to any door regardless of whether it has an overhead traditional opener, or a jack shaft.

@todbnla 6 ай бұрын

your behind on this one, been running several of these for a few years. Enjoy your content though, keep up the good work.

I installed one of these and liked it so much I installed it on my other door too. My house was only 5 years old and the old openers were fine but I wanted a cleaner look and yes… these are way quieter than any other openers. But you will hear a clunk at the end when the dead bolt locks in. When I moved into my house, my drywall wasn’t completed in my garage so before I had it finished, I ran a new electrical outlet where the new opener was going to be mounted. I don’t even worry about anybody breaking into my garage. 99.9% of the time if somebody was to attempt to break into your garage they’re gonna think that the garage door opener is mounted in the center of the garage door and they’re gonna be looking for the red cord in the middle of your garage door Not to the side.
