Nice video! Awesome to see another Retired USAF Veteran! I'm a 22yr USAF Special Operations Aerial Gunner on AC-130s and MH-53 PAVE LOW. GO AF!!! Miss it every day!
Thanks. I was a 130 crew chief for about 14 years before I moved to public affairs and finished out my career.
Very professional! Good speaker and clear information.
Thanks John!

It's so Cool 👍
I had to, where I live it gets stupid hot 🥵
Thanks!! Lifesaver!
You’re welcome!
I insulated a metal garage in California and it dropped the temp coming off door by about 100 degree. Granted it was painted brown and facing south. 170°f+ dropped down to 80 85° I just used the rigged stuff, but could also add the reflective bubble over that. It was one giant heater before
Good video
Thank you
Thanks Tommy!
great video thank you.
Thanks Erdogan!
Sean, great demo. Quick question: planning an install this weekend. Take old Genie out and replace with new 1055. Can I leave the old wiring in place and reuse if lined up already?
I have this same model. Any idea why when I’m trying to set the down setting it’s causing my track to bind but going up is just fine
😮😮 1:49 😮 1:49 😮 1:49
Will both sensors light up green or just one?
can you use a taller chain (#41) ? same pitch and link length, just taller than the original part .. original is a craftsman btw
Yes that spring is very dangerous; years ago a coworker that did not know how to handle it ; almost lost one of his hands just by messing with it.
Just got this garage door opener installed. I noticed when I put my hand on the surface of the garage door opener unit that something is constantly running inside, feels like a motor, even though the garage door has already completed an open or closed door cycle. Anyone else?
Hi Sean why can't you use the same measurements for the old one for the new one for the 96 inches??
Good question Joey. You typically can use the same measurement when replacing an opener, I wanted to show folks what they needed to do if they were installing a new one without having an existing one.
Important to have the door working properly it’s entire travel, a lot of people want an opener to make up for a crappy running door
Good point Don. It’s important to check the door manually prior to installing a opener.
I have the same one but different model number. Do you need to replace the T safe beam or can I use the existing one? same question with the wall mount control.
Sorry for the delayed response Chao. Honestly I’m not sure, the T safe beams maybe but I’m guessing the controller is keyed to the opener. It might work with the same opener manufacturer. Let me know if you tried it and what the outcome was.
Should i remove my previous springs now that i have installed an opener now ?
Unless the springs are broken or are not working you should be ok to leave them in place. I didn’t change mine.
If they do need to be replaced you should consider hiring a garage door professional to do it. The springs are no joke, and if not installed properly with the correct tools and know how can cause serious injury.
@@SeanDoesDIY thanks ! I'll leave them they both work fine just didn't know if it would affect the motor on the opener in any way
Hello. Does the turnbuckle go inside the part you install at 7:27?
The belt goes through that part. That is the piece that attaches to the door arm and moves the door up and down.
@@SeanDoesDIY how does the belt grip that part to get the door arm to move? Without putting the turnbuckle inside that part, I don’t see how the door arm will move.
Once you tighten the turnbuckle it goes into that part and then the emergency release lever locks it in place driving the door.
@@SeanDoesDIY perfect! Thank you so much.
You’re welcome.
My track bows up severally when the door goes down. How do I correct this?
Hey Max, if it happens when the door is fully closed you may need to adjust the down limit stop. The opener should be set to stop down travel when the door weather seal starts to compress. Your instructions should tell you how to set the up and down travel limits.
@@SeanDoesDIY i set the down limit. But when the door is in operation it seems to bind 12” from the bottom causing the drive track to bow.
Does the door operate normally when you open and close it manually with the opener disconnected? If it doesn’t, the tracks could be out of alignment or there could be a problem with one or more of the rollers. If it does, the opener track may not be be perfectly square or level. When the door is closed, check the angle of the door arm. It should be angle away from the door. If it straight up and down, it will push the track up.
@@SeanDoesDIY operates perfectly when disconnected from the motor.
Check the angle of the opener arm, that’s a common cause for the bowing.
I programed my car remotes it only opens the door how do you get them to close the door also with out having to get out the car press the wall mount button and walk out my man door and get back in the car...so annoying
Dee, did you set the down limit switch on your opener?
@@SeanDoesDIY I believe I did I will go and double check
I figured it out thank you need to hook the sensors up
wow, i would turn off the head coppers before the installation, but nice video anyway.
I would have, but it was really hot when I did the installation, so I thought if I’m careful I should be okay…😬
That spring is super dangerous I almost lost an eye because of them
I don’t think it could take your head off. Worse case it snaps but it’s still wound around the center pole. There’s a guy on RUclips that snapped one.
Yeah, I just wanted to let people know that it really should be repaired or changed by someone who knows what they are doing. 😬
You don't level the rail Reed you manual
