I have two Liftmaster garage door openers side by side (one for a 3rd car smaller door and one for the primary door). Both units are the same model, and the wall buttons are mounted side-by-side.
I'd say 70% of the time, the main garage door button requires you to press it twice to close the door. It only requires the double press when closing. It always works on the first press when opening. Some additional facts below:
Has anyone else run into this and was able to fix it? This garage door opener is brand new.
I usually try to never clamp the spring but the customer needed the door to be functional.
Ok so first time DIY guy here, going to attempt to change broken springs. Right side is broken and reads 207 x 2 x 19.5, left side I can't read as is wound but measures little under 24" so im guessing it's a 23" due to gaps. 10/20 coil measurements look like it's .207 as well. Door is 16 x 7 with a liftmaster 3240 motor.
So I ordered two 207 x 2 x 23s to replace both springs from Amazon. Got some advice from Express Garage Door Parts and they recommend 225 x 2 x 25 springs.
My question is, should I stick with the .207 springs at 23" or do I need the larger springs as recommended? Or are both of these options close enough and don't need to be exact? As side note, been in the house 11 years and door worked great for that entire time until now. Any advice would be great, thanks all! Am I on the right track?
Backed in the garage door but luckily only hit the bottom strut. It’s bent now and is only slightly bowed on the outside but not noticeable. I tried hitting the strut with a 2x4 and a hammer to straighten it out but it didn’t budge. Any advice on how to straighten it out?
Hi all, I scored a side mount garage door opener for super cheap and wanted to install it as my garage is a gym and I could really use the additional overhead space.
The issue is I don’t know if I have enough shaft protruding in order to make it work (common issue in my life- not having enough shaft 😂)
Anything I can do here?
What’s the best way to rig this hanger to the track? I’m in the process of converting my tracks to a high lift, and the joists were running horizontally on this side.
Over the weekend, I installed a Chamberlain B4310 (purchased from Menards if it matters for the model or whatever). All went well and it went up and works great with the wall button provided and the two remotes that were also provided.
That's where the good times end. How on earth do you get the learn button to work? It's round and white. Yes, white. Not yellow (or purple, or any of the other colors) like the manual says it might be(?). Searched the cracks and crevices of the Internet, but no joy. I'm trying to teach a Craftsman 315 key pad, 2007 bmw 3 series and a 2017 Subaru Forester. I might kind of accept that the keypad and even the bmw MAY(?) be too old and not compatible, but I'm not ready to admit defeat and carry the remotes.
Has anyone defeated this mystery? Is there a super secret set of instructions that actually work? Please advise, kind Internet strangers.
I currently have (2) 41D7675 garage door openers with each having an 882LMW wall control attached to the house and (2) 41D7675 with 882LMW in detached garage. What do I need to gain Wi-Fi/Smart control of these openers? Best i can tell, these do not have Wi-Fi capability and not 100% sure what I need.
Additional question - I am also wanting to put wall controls for the detached garage openers inside the attached garage. I assume just some 885LM will suffice?
Thanks in advance.
It’s stuck in the up position. Makes some sound when you hit down but doesn’t budge. The error code it flashes is “the motor RPM sensor did not detect movement within the first second of operation”. I’ve checked the internal wiring and everything looks connected properly. Sensors are aligned. Door moves freely when disconnected. The chain doesn’t seem to be stuck.
I need to replace my garage door weatherstripping. I keep finding a lot of double channel, but I have a single channel. It looks like my channel opening is like 1/8? My old weatherstrip was flat and sat against the bottom of the garage door nicely. The one I bought now is thick and will not sit flush. What am I missing?
Went to close the garage door today and it won’t close with the chain controlling it. It’s like it gets stuck but the door opener keeps pushing. If I disengage the chain I can manually open and close the door without issue. I can then reconnect the chain once the door is closed and it opens it with no issues. I have greased the wheels thinking maybe they were catching but it didn’t seem to change anything. Any idea would be helpful. Thanks
Are there any good options to be able to have at least 6 operators on a single remote?
There is no WI-FI, so phones wont work.
I need a new garage door opener and am finding this more difficult than it should be. The existing g opener is a screw drive opener and I just noticed that the rail mount is not attached to the door header, but to the ceiling. There does not appear to be enough room above the springs to attach the bracket.
I'm wondering if I should try and attach the new rail in the same manner from the ceiling. I purchased a chamberlain B4310 belt drive opener. Top of the door comes within about 3.5 inches from the ceiling at the highest point when opening.
Am I better off returning this opener and going with a side mount? Center of shaft is 4" from ceiling.
Had my house built in 2000 and have been using my garage daily since. I had to replace the sprocket last year and I just replaced the sensors today. Still chugging along 26 years later. I’ve read that garage openers tend to last around 10, 15, 20 years. Should I expect my opener to crap on itself in the near future? I’ve never done anything to it outside of sprocket and new sensors today. Might do new rollers this summer but they look fine to me I think
my LL replaced my garage door with a new door from an old wood one, did not connect the motor as it is off center by about a foot. (got a support column dead center) I’m on hook for damages for sure. if my jury rig is risking damage in anyway, please let me know and how I can fix (while keeping it operational) I don’t want my garage to be secured by just a little 3/8 lock.
(I know the hardware is stupid as hell it’s what I had to do with what I had on hand haha will be getting them next time I’m at the depot)
**I forgot to add it seems to be perfectly operational and working fine of course. Those plates I added are steel and like 6” to spread the pressure on the door, there are so many of them cus the bolts are not full thread lol.
