- This is a very good opener, only Arm Type I will install, but they do not like Hurricanes I found out... There are some great electric motors in here for parts projects... Lets see what is in here!
I'm glad you took yours apart that means I don't have to take mine apart let's see what's inside 🤔
Hey Steve, it was great talking to you today on tech support. Greatly enjoying your videos. Thanks for telling me about your channel.
Thanks, you too!
Can’t wait to see the results!
Good Morning Steve and hi from Nacogdoches. Another interesting video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice piece of equipment. I was surprised the screw looked dry. No lube at all? Thanks for showing us.
It would just get trash and dirt caked up there....
Wouldn't the next step be to put a meter on the micro-switch and check it.
IT's not the switch.... the lever moves a plunger stop the stop was not releasing for some reason and the screw could not turn and free spin...
Interesting to see the inside of one of those. Are they double start threads? I was thinking maybe the switch or circuit board, but if it's not working with the manual control, it's puzzling.
The electric part works ok... it's the mechanical part that would not release the motor from the shaft by pulling out a part from a notch in the shaft. Try as I might I could not release it in the field but it works fine in the shop...
@@10swatkins That's strange. Good luck with it.
It may be a problem of friction between the nut and the screw. Even with the screw disengaged from the motor, you're applying a lateral force where the conversion to rotation is affected by friction. That screw looks very dirty/rusted and that may be your problem.
Sorry good theory but not the case :) Even older ones look worse and work well.. Something would not let it release the plunger from the indent on the shaft...
@@10swatkins Maybe it's the TV repairman problem 😁 TV exhibits some consistent fault. Repairman arrives but finds the TV working perfectly. When repairman leaves, fault returns.
@@myronalexander3093 For once when I arrived it was jammed up :) I tried a lot of things to get it to release, when it's on a gate there is a lot of leverage and the screw turn very easily when unlocked... Something was jammed and when I took it to the shop it worked,,, Just the oposite :)
Doorking baby!!!!
Not a chance. :) These suckers are tough and dependable....

Eu que agradeço amigo@@10swatkins obrigado pela atenção!!!Abraço
Hi Steve ... I am looking to place a gate that opens remotely across the entrance to our parking lot which is about 30 feet wide ... do you have any suggestions? (about 4 feet high)
30 feet is a long way for a single gate to travel and open in a timely manner... It's done all the time mostly with sliding gates to reduce the amount of space a swinging gate uses... IF you have the space I would put in a double gate that each side slides to the side... Gate opens in half the time then and people don't rush it and hit is so often...
Once I made a 8" pipe "fence" across a lot opening that was about 75 feet wide... The 8" top rail was supported by 8" pipes into the ground every 12 feet... The opening was 24 feet and I made special rollers that fit INSIDE the 8" top rail and allowed a 4x4 square metal rail to store inside the pipe when open and extend 12' out of the pipe to close the opening.... Had no room for a sliding gate and they did not want it to look like a fortress with a gate...
@@10swatkins Thanks for you reply ... will it be okay to get back to you for more detail?
