By far the best i love you man i was so stressed out over this and i was watching this when i left home i came home so excited cause with your help i figured out what i needed to do and boom it worked and now its all set and the kids can get in and out safely
Yes, the sensor lights are different colors, that is normal. If the buttons are reversed you likely put the belt union on the wrong side of the channel; looking out the garage door from the inside, it should be on the right side.
I just completed an install on a similar Genie. The sensor wire routing forced me to do a modification. I didn't want to route it out and around as my garage has a finished ceiling. You can't just attach it to the rail (my old one you could). As the rail is hollow, I drilled a hole on the under side about an inch from the motor head. There is a Bolt hole towards the end, must be for over travel but I removed it. I used Fish tape to get the wire in the rail and out the removed bolt hole. You only need the one wire as you can wire in a series. Made it so much cleaner.
A tip for installing power head. Make sure the carriage is disengaged , open the door by hand. Use a block on the door to support opener rail . Check rail if it is level, adjust if necessary. Now mount power head at same position. Remove support block from door flip carriage to lock position, move door by hand to lock into carriage. Great video enjoyed it
Great video, down to the point. This is the sealant I'm using on my shed. Looks like the perfect color too. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Peace brother.
During assembly the turn buckle union should not be at either extreme, near the motor or end of the channel. For ease place the union about 2 feet from the end of the channel. Once assembled, lift/open the door until the plastic carrier covers the union and then lock the carrier in place (how far the door is open will depend on where the union is prior to setting the limits; now you can set the limits). While the union doesn't have to be centered, if it is at either extreme, leaving the garage door open or closed prior to setting the limits, it will be beyond the limit adjustments. Not mentioned is you must set the limits prior to installing the backup battery.
Man, you should do more videos, you are great in explaining how to do it! Congrats on the video, I will install 2 this weekend and will use your video to get it done!
I'm with you, brother. Those yellow old school straps suck! They are such a PITA to use, and the excess strap has to be secured so that it doesn't flap in the wind.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I was able to get the rail system put together by simply following your instructions. Now I have to move my old mounting bracket forward because the old garage door opener rail system was longer. Again, thank you, new subscriber here!
We got everything installed and programmed. the wall mount button will not put the door down now unless you hold the button down the whole time and the down button on the remote does not work at all. it goes up just fine. Does anyone here know what the problem could be??
Sounds like a safety sensor issue. Make sure they are aligned properly and nothing is obstructing the line of sight between them. If you still have the issue check your wiring and make sure you don’t have the wall station and sensor wiring mixed up.
I have a problem with this deadlock. So I had recently installed this lock 3 weeks ago. It was working fine. But lately the keypad isn’t working. I’ve tried every button on the keypad and it’s not doing anything or making a noise. I had taken off the cables and reapplied them to the board but nothing happens. I’m able to use the Hubspace app to lock and unlock the deadlock. Is there something I’m missing?
Would you mind posting a video about them after a months use? Good or bad, it would be nice to know if the retractable mechanism still works good after normal wear and tear.
Just so everyone is clear.. they aren't made in America because this company wouldn't yield any profit. Congrats, the American dream is dead. Vote Trump in November. 🔥
Thank you, your video made for very easy installation. Here are a few tips that I used: I'm a nazi about using thread lock on anything that causes vibration. Also, when mounting the power unit, I tied a 1/4" rope to the rail near the power unit and to the ceiling mount, pulled it up to level and finished the hangers. Thanks again!
