Many thanks, definitely more help than the manufacturer's web site.
Thanks Jake. That looked like what I needed to do but it's nice to see it done first.
Thank you! Saved me a service call.
Thanks Jake! Didn't realize it was so easy.
Quick easy 5 minute fix thanks to your video
Thanks for your video. My chain was coming loose, tightened it up just like the video demo, but garage door wouldn't open. I noticed that I couldn't even manually lift the door. Spring that goes across the top is broken, thus the strain of opening was stretching the chain. Getting spring replaced for $250. Thanks.
Thanks very much... it took me all of two minutes... works perfectly.
Sure beats the service call that would've cost $80...
Do your chain hang low? Do it wobble to the flo
Thank you for the video.
Thank you for the video. I was able to fix my garage door opener. I had to increase the force when opening the gate.
worked perfectly, thanks
Above bottom of rail . Thank you
Our door was going up 2-3' and stopping, The chain was hanging low, the video made the chain adjustement a breeze. The door was still doing the same thing. The over head track j(ust below the chain) had a lot of dirt. I sprayed carb cleaner on it and wiped it down. There is the mechanism that moves along the track below the chain, I used bicycle chain lube on it and the track below the chain, that did the trick. If the track gets built up on it it causes
friction.
just the information i needed, thanks!
Perfect, thanks mate.
thanks Jake!
Thank you
nice job, thanks
Thank you for nice video. I have a problem with the chain it is to long even after I used all the adjustment. what can I do?
Your reply will be appreciated.
Do you do this with the door open or closed? Do you do this with the manual lever engaged or disengaged?
so your the first guy i hav seen adjust chain with door open, does that matter, ? becuz when my door is up my chain is tight when door is closed my chain is loose and below the track,
wisco did you get an answer to your question. I have the same question
Did you get an answer?
My chain is hanging below the Rail. How much movement up and down should is have .
What can be done if the chain will not stop twisting every time it is used.
It new and the other one working perfectly!
does it matter if the door is open or closed?? I don't hear it mentioned in the video's.
Make sure chain is not twisted when you're done
Hey Jake, do you chain hang low? Does it wobble to and fro? Do it shine in the light....
Nice work you guys that helps me a lot. However, I did fix the chain but the door open half way and then stop. It closed okay but problem with opining! Any idea?
Safety Warning:
The video doesn't mention to unplug the unit before performing this maintenance. If you do not do so, you run the risk of the opener engaging and hurting yourself - even with "vacation mode" set.
Other:
1) The trolley is to be disengaged while adjusting the tension (Liftmaster website example).
2) The slack between the chain and the rail should be 1/2 inch at the midpoint when opened (easy using a folding ruler with the last section at 90 degrees)
the chain on mine came completely off. like unconnected. im trying to figure out how to reassemble it. :(
if u adjust it too tight, will it whats cause to not open
question, i screwed up my door after i pulled the safety release. Now, when the receiver sends the "catch" part do the door, it doesn't connect and pull the door back. What does that mean? Am i out of alignment?
anyone know how to adjust the closing time at which the door close by itself after certain time? mine stays open until i press the remote to close it ?
When I tightened the screw, only one side of the chain is tightening up, the other side of the chain (the side without screw) still sagging. I tried to pull the chain to this side. It did not work. What can I do? Thanks!
This is exactly my issue. I'll keep searching for answers. If you figured this out, let me know. Thanks!
Release the latch with the pull down rope prior to adjusting chain tension. That will solve your problem of uneven chain tension.
This is what you sound like when you don't have the pleasure of alcohol...

Amazing how poorly “experts” explain things.
