If you have the springs already yes. If I have to cut the springs to the correct length make it 2 hours, 3 tops and at that point the additional hour or two would only cost the customer an additional 100 bucks still way under 600. Takes 10 minutes to replace each gear and 30 minutes to change...

Me personally I would go a different route and if the space is big enough do 2 10'x8' doors most larger SUVs need closer to the 8' height and 10'wide is nice so there are no worries about dings and scratches. 16' doors are heavier and wear parts faster then single size doors. Just my opinion...

600.00 is outrageous I need to move there so I can charge that. My company would charge about 250-300 for a job like that. That's parts and labor and would take roughly an hour.

I always made it a practice of lifting a car or truck just enough for the wheels to be off the ground and shake the car. If all my shaking doesn't cause the vehicle to move or shift the slightest I call it good. Shaking the vehicle before fully lifting let's the arms or pads settle. If your...

New early Black Friday deal on the pp3. Tooltopia. It's not the complete set but still a decent price just add to cart. 87.00

Snap on pocket screwdriver. SOG folding pocket knife, keys with bottle opener and my strion streamlight. Then when on a call whatever tools are needed when up my ladder. I do not like tool belts, so usually wrenches, pliers and a ratchet stuffed in my back pockets

It may or may not have a receiver attached. If you see an antenna wire hanging out of it then yes and you will need the manufacturer and model and freq. if not then you should be able to buy a receiver and remotes and mount it to the opener. Most openers can be made to work. Some need a 24v...

Go to McMasters website and buy some rare earth magnets you can order lengths

With roll up doors you typically want them to roll somewhat slow. If it's too fast and can bind up on the rails and shift on the barrel. Most lift master openerez I have installed are gear driven they have somewhat of a transmission on them to reduce speed but give more torque. The sprockets...

There are so many different weights. Stick on weights are used more and more. Newer vehicles are coming with rims that no longer have a lip to attach weights to. Alloy and aluminum rims can take different weights depending on manufacturer. If you are doing larger tires 35" or larger tires they...

I'd look into the MJ opener it's a jack shaft opener and built to handle a door of your size. Yes a residential jack shafts should be able to open the door, but at the size door you mentioned, that is not a "residential sized door" the medium duty jack shaft is actually produced for a door in...

For a door that tall and wide I'd look at a commercial rated opener. Liftmaster makes many openers and they make some medium duty jack shaft openers call a local door company or a liftmaster dealer and look at the options

Sounds to me like either the pulleys are bad and causing the door to shack side to side or the tension on the springs are not equal causing one side to pull more then the other.

Ez red makes the same set as the matco ones but call it spline drive. They work well and are about 120 a set.

At my shop we use a 55ft lb torque stick and then torque with a torque wrench to the specified torque. We have 6 wrenches in the shop and we send 3 at a time to get calibrated every 3 to 6 months. There is no excuse to be lazy when torquing a tire. I have seen plenty of cars at my shop that have...

Nylon rollers will quiet the door down and they do typically last longer.. If your opener is a chain drive and makes noise it's either not adjusted properly or the door is not balanced correctly.

9'1" is good. When you do your finish work get some primed pine or whatever you want to use to finish the opening. The seals will cover.

At my shop we all have an understanding. 1. You don't borrow tools without first asking. 2. You must return it when done to where you found it and be wiped clean. 3. If you need to borrow a tool more then 3 or 4 times, you should be in the process of buying your own. After the 5th time people...

I use them daily and that are the best. It's nice to not need 2 wrenches. Great for oil changes, brakes and just about anything suspension related. The long length gigs great leverage to break bolt or nuts free with little effort. Also makes doing alignments that much easier. Rarely need a...

Iv been using diablo blades for years and they are awesome. They last a long time and cut through almost anything. At a dollar a piece that's a great price. Around here the are around 30 bucks for a pack of 5 or 6
