Been using the lift master version of these jackshaft openers in all my buildings since 2007. First installed these for my home to stop waking up the kids when I went to work. Then I replaced on all my other buildings for the space saving and lower noise and maintenance. The the nice rail slide lock feature is a nice security improvement too.

Glad to see there is a cable sensor, back in the 80's I worked where they put that style opener on 4 overhead doors in the warehouse. The openers didn't have a sensor like that and for some reason one of the doors jammed in the opening for a couple of seconds. The opener kept turning the bar, which unrolled more cable. The cable came off the pulley on to the bar and when the door freed itself, came down with a big bang. Luckily no one got hurt, but it could have been bad. Great install video.

I just watched this video and I must say, the install of the main unit looks way more simple than I pictured and thought it would be. My present garage door openers are both 8 years old and while they do work, there's lots of slop and jerking when they are asked to raise the doors. One is an RV garage door and the other is a standard 8' high 2-car door opener. They are both working great but, my doors are SERIOUSLY noisy. And, the drive is part belt and part chain. There is a ton of jerking when starting to raise the doors. So, I'm thinking this newer style of opener. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very informative. Scott

Another observation that needs their attention. The coupling device to the spring rod needs to also include a solid or thicker walled bushing that inserts into the end of the hollow spring rod so you can really torque down the coupling bolts to avoid future slipping.

Wrong. Firstly, it's called a torsion rod. Secondly, one does not have to over torque the bolts that hold it onto the torsion rod. Just tighten them snugly, and they will hold for years. Recheck after year 5. Class dismissed.

46 years installing garage doorsand openers. 1.it is a torsion bar, not a pipe. 2. The Chamberlain RJO is the "lumberyard" version of the Liftmaster series it is a great opener installed correctly. Of the 3 or 4 homeowner installed RJO I have encountered, none of them were installed correctly. Two of those instsalls, did significant damage to the doors, that was severe enough they needed replacenent. Somehow the homeowner figured that the door would be replaced under warranty due to their serious mistakes.

I've had the Liftmaster brand for a few years now (7?) and one thing I've had to do on my small 9x7 door is forget using the cable switch (I've got mine propped open with a board) because the cable gets just enough slack when the motor shifts speeds (probably my door isn't heavy enough) and I've had to put pusher springs that contact the door when it reaches 1 ft from the end to gently put pressure on the cables to keep them from unwrapping. If I was going to install another unit I would make the horizontal tracks at say 30 degrees to keep more tension on the cables.

It's looks pretty much the same, expect we don't have the battery backup. Our unit is capable of having the backup battery, it just didn't come with the battery itself, have to buy it seperately. You're not alone on having setup issues. Directions weren't very clear but I finally got it after 15-20 minutes of head scratching. My wife had issues undoing the release as well. I just told her to pull the rope till you feel like you're about to rip the unit off the wall, then pull a little harder. That release does loosen up over time. At least it has on our unit. Best of luck with it and thanks for all the videos!

What timing, I'm in the middle of installing a traditional chamberlain opener on my tractor door. I considered the wall mount style, but for my application the traditional will be fine and even buying the biggest one and the adapter kit to make it work on a 9' high door it was still considerably less expensive as you mentioned. The reason I'm putting an opener on, more than for convenience, is to get the door up above the door opening. I couldn't adjust the door enough to get it to go that high on its own and my ROPS needs 8' 11" to clear. I had made a prop to push the door up for clearance, but long story short I forgot one day and now I have a battle scare on the bottom of the door to remind me. Since then I've left the ROPS folded down, but then it's in the way for hooking attachments.
