After installing the insulated garage door, we decided to get the wall mounted Chamberlain RJO70 garage door opener. This opener does not stick out into the barn space, restricting movement of our tractor/loaders.
This product is NOT sponsored. We purchased it with our own money. No interaction with Chamberlain / Liftmaster prior to this video. ... one customer support call DURING this video is the only interaction we have had.

Been using the lift master version of these jackshaft openers in all my buildings since 2007. First installed these for my home to stop waking up the kids when I went to work. Then I replaced on all my other buildings for the space saving and lower noise and maintenance. The the nice rail slide lock feature is a nice security improvement too.

Glad to see there is a cable sensor, back in the 80's I worked where they put that style opener on 4 overhead doors in the warehouse. The openers didn't have a sensor like that and for some reason one of the doors jammed in the opening for a couple of seconds. The opener kept turning the bar, which unrolled more cable. The cable came off the pulley on to the bar and when the door freed itself, came down with a big bang. Luckily no one got hurt, but it could have been bad. Great install video.

I just watched this video and I must say, the install of the main unit looks way more simple than I pictured and thought it would be. My present garage door openers are both 8 years old and while they do work, there's lots of slop and jerking when they are asked to raise the doors. One is an RV garage door and the other is a standard 8' high 2-car door opener. They are both working great but, my doors are SERIOUSLY noisy. And, the drive is part belt and part chain. There is a ton of jerking when starting to raise the doors. So, I'm thinking this newer style of opener. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very informative. Scott

Appreciate the explanation of the release lever. And reengagement. No issues with mine other than the rubber door seal during the summer heat seals/sticks to the concrete and at times causes the motor to strain and create a power/torque fault on the controller. Usually another press on the controller opens the door.

I recently installed the Liftmaster version of this jack shaft lifter. At least for mine, if I pull the cables off the battery while its unplugged I loose the WiFi settings. Battery really is required for the wireless version. They don't really make that clear. Once I got it all tuned in, its been working great. I really like it and for the same reasons you wanted it as well.

Thanks for video. I've had mine Liftmaster Elite for 11 years... works great. My boy accidentally hit this door with his car; I just replaced two of the panels and was looking for an overview of the opener again (I got the manual in the other garage somewhere). I goofed kind of like you when I pulled the disengagement cord to try out manually beforehand. This door opener is different alright; the cables came all unwound; I had to redo all that.

Installed that exact garage door opener not long ago due to lack of room for our bigger door in our added on garage. One problem I had was once you open the door all the way there was not enough weight of the door to bring it self down the rails without tripping that contact switch because there’s no down pressure with this opener. Solution was two heavy duty springs that we installed at the end of the rails to help push the door down to where it’s own weight would take over.

I installed the RJO70 on one of my garage doors nearly 10 months ago after the old opener failed. I've been fairly happy with it, however, my opener will sometimes fail to close when I use the wired mounted opener control to close the door. The wireless remote and the wifi app works every time. Other than that I would recommend them to anyone if you're OK with the increased price over a traditional (cheaper) opener.

I work in a garage and we've had the wall mount opener for a very long time 22 plus years. Our original opener was mounted in the center of the torsion tube. It was a real pain if it needed maintenance or repair since it was in the middle. It would fail in the up or going down position. With the door in the way it made life difficult fixing it. The newer replacements are on the side like yours.

We have the same opener and cannot be more happy. I added some RD40 to the hinges and now you don’t hear the door at all when opening or closing. With regards to the battery: wait until you have a power failure. Then you will experience how handy it is. The lock bolt won’t work but the door opens and closes up to 25 times or so.

these are great door openers, In the lovely CA its become a nanny state and some politicians felt that these were not safety compliant and bans the sale of em now. I had installed my openers prior to that they are still working 16 years with not one issue. I had one shop door that was manual and I wanted to install the opener when I ran into the new regulation’s so I ordered it sending it to Missouri and had my daughter bring it home with her when she finished college. I found your video feed after viewing the Green Hinge system makes for a nice tight sealed door. Thanks for the slide barn track suggestion. subscribed !

I installed the LiftMaster version of this opener when they first came out. Love how quiet it is. Just make sure you check the duty cycle on it (mine was something like 4 cycles in 10 minutes) so you don't overheat the motor. Probably not an issue for you, but something to think about for people with kids who are going in and out of the garage frequently during the summer.

It's looks pretty much the same, expect we don't have the battery backup. Our unit is capable of having the backup battery, it just didn't come with the battery itself, have to buy it seperately. You're not alone on having setup issues. Directions weren't very clear but I finally got it after 15-20 minutes of head scratching. My wife had issues undoing the release as well. I just told her to pull the rope till you feel like you're about to rip the unit off the wall, then pull a little harder. That release does loosen up over time. At least it has on our unit. Best of luck with it and thanks for all the videos!

Hi Tim love your videos just wanted to let everyone know if your door doesn't have posi tension springs on the cable drums you eill have problems with those operators.
