    Great video, followed it from start to finish and I now have a newly installed Chamberlain garage door opener. The only comment I have is around the bracket that attaches to the door itself. Mine didnt have a pre-existing bracket already there, so I had to drill 2 metal holes into the middle frame of the garage door, and then use 2 smaller lag bolts to attach the bracket myself. Great video, especially for something made 9 years ago.

    This video is the best! If you don't like reading the manual like me, this is better than the installation manual. Thank you so much for putting this video together.

    The absolute best video. You covered everything in simple detail. I was able to do this myself instead of hiring someone for an extra 200.00 plus dollars. Thank you so much!!

    This video was fantastic. I happened to buy the same garage door opener and find your video the other day. I had your video playing in the garage, walking me through the whole install. It made the whole process super easy. It was the easiest home project I've ever done. Thanks a lot for taking the time to make the video.

      That's awesome Tyler Robie, super stoked the video helped you with your opener. They can be a big challenge. You did exactly what I envision, use technology as you're working through the project. This is what makes videos so cool. Thanks for your support and kind words :D

    I did buy this garage door opener, or similar model. Your video is pretty much spot on. I will say, I think you left out a very important step, and that is the programming of the "Travel". I followed the directions and when I had trouble, I referred to your video. Once the garage door was up, I thought I was done. I was not. Once hitting the opener, the door travel went all the way to the stop bolt! Actually, I thought this was a defect and got an exchange. This next unit did the same! After reading the directions again...pages later in the instructions, I realized I had to program the "travel". Once this was done, both units worked. While your video was spot on in installing it, I suggest to your guys watching your videos to program the travel before operating it. Also, on a another note, this garage door opener was not compatible with my 2007 Escalade SUV. A compatibility module needed to be ordered according to Chamberline support. Thank you for your video!

    Thanks bud, I was able to finish the work in a week. Had to do several trips to home depot. I had to move my bracket support from the attic. Glad it worked perfectly and it is way easier to do it by watching you showing the parts and how to do it. Thanks again. Now I have to tighten the torsion springs :)

    Wow! Thanks dude. Your video really helped me out a lot and was a whole lot better than reading the manual. Being able to watch it on my phone in the garage while pausing after every step was invaluable. Thank you SO much for doing this!

    @saxon840 7 лет назад +6

    I can't thank you enough for this well-made video. My opener that went bad was identical to yours, and I replaced it with a Chamberlain belt drive like yours because of this video. They owe you. Thanks.

    • @HomeRepairTutor
      @HomeRepairTutor  7 лет назад +1

      Glad I could help, the opener had good reviews and I bought it based off those. Doing the video was really just to document that process and help anyone else who was doing the same thing. Great job installing it!!

    Would like to THANK YOU for your video. After watching your video afew times i decided to buy chamberlain hd520evp and install myself with the help of your video.
    After about 3 hours unit was installed (i am 65 and slow)
    The only problem i had was wiring the sensors i had mixed up wires.
    I saved on having to pay someone to install and i leaned something new.
    Thank you again

  • @apexxscout8098
    @apexxscout8098 9 лет назад +2

    Just installed this unit yesterday but should've watched this first. Two items slowed me: the stop bolt and the spring nut. At first thought I didn't have the stop bolt as nothing I had resembled the bolt graphic. The spring nut stumbled me too, as never used that and I noticed that you glossed over that section. The spring nut section should be exact as I suspect many are like me. Took me awhile then it sorted. thx

    • @HomeRepairTutor
      @HomeRepairTutor  9 лет назад +1

      +apexx scout sorry you had some issues with that. I think the spring nut gave me some issues too...probably should have talked more about that

    • @apexxscout8098
      @apexxscout8098 9 лет назад

      +Jeff Patterson
      lol, what's odd is that for all bolt applications, the directions had a nice graphic to match up. But not so with the stop bolt. And the spring nut needed a brief and to the point sentence showing that the entire unit was one piece to be installed THEN the spring popped over the disc thingie. That little spring nut thing was totally alien to me. All good as this 3/4 hp unit with the inside door timer with motion sensor for the lights and the outdoor keypad and the quiet belt is easily the best opener ever. Just trust that it works for years.

    @757phillycat 7 лет назад

    All installed had a friend help me out pretty much paint by the numbers. The only issue was we couldn't use the preexisting wires that were run through the wall. The attic has a finished floor and the wires were under there. Chamberlain provided plenty of extra wire. Also the new opener was super easy to program, about as easy as pairing a iPhone to your car. Good luck with this if you attempt this DIY....

  • @dougeckard1460
    @dougeckard1460 6 лет назад

    He did a very nice job on the video and for the most part was correct,(there were a few mistakes he talked about). But there are so many issues with the door to begin with that a professional door installer should be able to see. First if the correct tracks were on the door because it has the duct in the center then he could have installed the motor in the center where there is a style on the door (support system) so the motor will not rip the door in case of a mishap while moving. (this is especially true since the door has extension springs on it so they pull evenly). The time he took to mark the wires and so was not needed since you get new ones in the box (color coded) and easy to follow the directions. New Motor = new wires makes sense in case there is a issue with the wires somewhere. The safety sensors do not stop the door from opening or closing like he mentioned (a big myth customers think) Safety sensors are designed to REVERSE the door while in the DOWN travel ONLY in case something breaks the sensor beam while moving. The door will always open when activated even if you break the beam. And also the bracket on the door that the motor (j arm ) mounted to should have been underneath the strut going across the door. This is on the door to support any unusual pulling force to the door. By being above it there is no support here. Chamberlain is a nice product for a store bought motor but it has the 4 rail pieces that snap together, A Liiftmaster Motor which is made by Chamberlain Corp is a professional grade product so the parts are a upgrade and the rail is a solid steel rail for more support. Just a few things I noticed to let you know sometimes things do not seem as perfect as they seem.

    Well if you need to do this its a good time to do so. Chamberlain is putting out all new openers all will have wifi. I bought a last years model today on clearance at Home Depot regular price $238.00 on clearance $126.00. I purchased the belt driven model. The one I will be installing doesn't have wifi since we open / close our door via the security system. I'll be doing this in the am, I'll let you know how it goes.
