Special order and custom doors are two very different things.a special order would be a door that is not a standard size, an 18'x14' door would be special order unless it was a custom built wood door built to 18'x14'1.5". Based on the assumption that this is a steel insulated door it is a...

If your door was framed out to 14' 1.5" then the framing is wrong. The doors can only be a certain size. Either 18" 21" or 24" sections. You can swap sections to achieve a desired odd size. That 1.5" gap is not fixable by replacing the door. You need to trim out the header to fix the gap. As a...

I'd say that if you don't have a strut on your top section to get one. Looks like your opener may be making your section bow. Also agree with checking the motor arm, may not be connected correctly. Arm should not be vertical when closed.

Was this a mistype or did you say your door is 20' wide? If your door is that wide it will be hard to make it noticeably quieter. At that width I'm sure you have struts on your door. Struts are hollow for the most part and will amplify any and every squeak your door makes. If also been using...

You could fab one up out of a liftmaster garage opener with myQ . Then you'd be able to use your phone to open and close it.

The flashing lights usually mean there is a sensor issue. The track may be loose and as the door moves the track wiggles and the sensor eyes get misaligned. Or there could be a short in one of the sensor wires and when the opener starts it jerks causing a short. Either way if the opener is a...

I also wear a hat and. Have glasses. The hat holds the pencil or pen perfectly, just don't stab yourself in the temple.

Check to make sure nothing is hanging off of the door. Leafs love to dangle six inches off the door and make people crazy. All of the above answers usually solve the issue. I also agree that it's odd to have 2 brand new openers with different sensors. Could the sensors have gotten mixed up? 2...

Iv always managed by hand and in tight bend spots I use an impact socket closest to the size I need the bend as a guide. Seems to work pretty well. My old shop finally ponied up for the hydraulic flaring tool. It was a good investment for them because if a tech leaves they still have the tool.

Belt drive. Screw drives will be quiet for a few months maybe a year and then get loud. They will be loud enough you wish you didn't get it. Save yourself the headache and find a liftmaster 8550. 1/2 hp belt drive with a battery back up and has a do motor. Everything about the opener is quiet...

My company uses fehr as well. They make a few different garage door lubricants. We currently use the one with the blue cap. If your working around a vehicle the last thing you should use is a silicone based oil or lubricant. It's not very good for your paint or clear coat and if working in a...

Their locking flexhead ratchets are nice. I got the extra long locking flex heads and I snapped the 3/8 drive. Doing an alignment and couldn't fit 1/2drive. The gear and drive square grenades but I was abusing it. Work fine up until then. Still haven't warrantied it yet because I decided to buy...

Holy ghetto

There should be a little LED next to the learn button. Press and hold the learn button until that little LED light goes out. That should erase all remotes and keypads that are programmed to the opener.

http://www.flashlightdistributor.com/streamlight-shipping-offer.aspx The cheapest place iv found streamlight flashlights. Great service. I ordered my strion from them with an extra charging base and chord and was still 50 bucks cheaper then everywhere else. Received my order in 2 days also

I mean 893max

371lm remote would work if your opener has a purple learn button. Red is also known as security plus so the remote would be a 971lm. Liftmaster recently came out with a universal remote to work with all chamberlain rolling codes. 891max

I got the 40oz mac. I wanted the snap on co workers at the time talked me out of it. Everyone at my job who had the SO has warrantied atleast twice because the metal caps have fallen off. No issues with the mac and the handle is longer

I love those jobs..... Not. the last one of those I did was 6 months ago 18x18 full vert lift with 4 springs per shaft plus a center mounted motor. 40 feet in the air with a 3 phase electric crane hoist system directly in front of the springs. Had to replace the springs and cables on 4 of them.

Iv been doing commercial garage doors for 12 years. Maybe for you or anyone else who deals primarily with residential doors this job would be a hassle and time consuming .283 2" ID springs are small compared to the .318 6"ID springs I normally hump 20feet up a ladder. When you usually work with...
