Hello I’m trying to configure a remote control with this device but I can’t find the learn code button. I have one remote that works and I want to configure an additional one. Any help is appreciated thank you. It’s an overhead door model
Is a jumping garage door track a problem? This just recently started this summer
Noticed this yesterday while installing a new opener (seen in background). Is this dangerous? Do I need a new spring? The door is very well balanced as I installed new pulleys and cables with the opener —runs smooth and quiet. Sort of hesitant to get new springs, as I am thinking I will have to retune the door balance with new, longer cables. Assuming the new springs will be tighter even if I am able to find the same spring rating.
I attempted to open my garage door while the lock was still engaged. It made a funky click noise and I stopped it immediately. I released the lock, and now when I close it, it stops about two inches from completely closing. Is there anything that I can do to repair it? I am very handy but was just wondering if I should attempt it or call a professional?
How do I replace this type of weather seal on my garage, every google result shows a t bar or bead bar replacement.
Here's what happens:
I press the Learn button. Light turns on.
I press the main button on the handheld clicker. Light on the clicker flashes.
Light on the overhead unit doesn't flash and the door doesn't open.
I tried the same thing with my keypad. Synced it properly according to video that I used the last time I synced it. Same issue, overhead unit's light doesn't flash and the door doesn't open.
Both the keypad and handheld clicker worked last week. I had to do a hard reset since my neighbor's handheld clicker somehow started opening my door (in addition to his).
Can someone help me troubleshoot? I'm pulling my hair out!!!
I have a belt drive Genie Model 1028. Unfortunately I won’t have electricity at my house for couple more days. I pull the emergency release cord in order to open the garage door manually. However, I can’t re-lock/re-engage the door by pulling the cord horizontally to the back. The garage door can still be opened from the outside.
Could someone please tell me how to re-lock the garage door? Thank you
Can someone help me identify the potential issue from this sound? Thanks so much.
Hi,
I recently bought a new house and was trying to change the keypad lock code from the prior owner. I have a liftmaster (but don't know the model number). The instructions on the keypad said to press the learn button (which is purple), but I ended up pressing and holding it for too long apparently, and I believe it reset the system as now neither the garage door remote, nor the keypad (with either the old code or my attempted new code) work.
To make matters worse, there is no entry to the garage from inside the house, and the garage door itself does not have any manual key access on the outside despite they’re being the red string attached to the motor on the inside of the garage. There is a handle at the base of the garage door, but it does not lift up the door when I pull on it.
There was a temporary power outage where I live, but I’m fairly certain that didn’t do anything, since I still see light on the keypad when I try and type in codes.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated; for example, if there’s a manufacturer default code that I can use since the system is in a reset state. Or am I SOL and need to call a garage door specialist?
Thanks in advance.
I've been sidelined with a back injury for the better part of a year. Finally added a strut to my sagging door and think it'll need a second.
I've searched this sub as well as Google but I'm not finding answers that align with what my brain is diagnosing/seeing. I promise I DID look.
House was purchased in 2017. Prior homeowner likely installed/DIYed this themselves as this was a foreclosed home and the garage was an addition/carport conversion. That said I'm not sure exactly how old, but likely installed between 2010-2017.
Edit to add: door opener currently cannot fully open and when manually opened, the door falls and feels heavy. This is why I'm assuming they're loose or worn but just want confirmation
I'm sure these springs aren't broken, but can anyone tell me if these bulging sides and gaps in the coil mean the springs are worn, loose, or in need of immediate replacement? I am a DIYer but NOT going to repair myself with the inherent danger plus being injured. I just want to know if my diagnosis is correct and if I'll need a professional to adjust them or completely replace them
Original Problem: Garage door would not open & sensor was blinking red.
Solution: Replaced sensors, garage door opened as normal.
New Problem: Garage door won't close.
It will move a few inches then jerk to a stop when coming down. I've tried this from the fully open position and with the door a foot or two off the ground, same result. Lights are on and solid on new sensors.
After inspecting the door & tracks I noticed:
Opener is a Genie Intellicode if it's relevant.
I think my next step is to replace this roller.... but I've never worked on or done any kind of trouble shooting on a garage door and a bit out of my element.
Are there other things I should be checking?
The door has a vertical support that prevents the installation of the door bracket (pictured). Currently the j hook is attached to the support (no clevis pin set-up) by bolt and nut. Should I try to attach the door bracket with some slight modifications by removing part of the reinforcement? Thanks!
The MyQ situation is enough to make me never want to support that company. Nobody around my part of the woods recommends Genie, so it seems like Chamberlain is the only option in the market.
Am I missing something?
I am looking for the old school single panel garage door that lifts like a lever in one piece. My house moves too much I’ve had to replace my rolling door 3 times in the last 10 years. I don’t want the rollers any more.
So a customer of mine just purchased this house and the garage that he currently has is a lift and over/single piece door. He is wanting to replace this with a sectional door with torsion spring and operator. The question being this garage has an odd opening. I need to determine what kind of set up I will need to make this work.
Opening- 8’x6’10”
Header spacing on inside above opening- 12”
Left spacing to opening- 16”
Right spacing to opening-10”
Ground to top of the block- 7’10”
My thoughts are to go with a LHR track set up with a trolley op and a 8x7 door. Would this work? Or could a standard track work? I would also have to replace the anchoring 2x6 pieces due to splitting.
I had my garage door seal and track replaced because old track had corroded screws blocking the t track and was a little gnarly overall. I had previously gone out and bought a universal t track rubber and also had a fancier one with the "o" in the middle. Because it was not as simple as just sliding on a new rubber seal, i called out a highly rated garage servicer.
He didnt use either of my brand new seals for various reasons .."too thick" or "this is a universal one" and instead put in one that had stains on it but seemed to be mostly in good condition (thats question #1 is it likely he was BSing me about not being able to use a universal seal from walmart?)
Question #2: while the ground connection doesnt show daylight, where the new track is screwed to door now does. Its not huge but pretty consistent for length of door. The whole point of fixing this was to keep pests out and now i have to go in and caulk. Is that something repair guy could have avoided?
#3 he didnt even use the t tracks to slide in the new seal, he just kind of folded it over. See pix. If that was going to be the solution all along, i probably couldve just bypassed my rusty original track and saved the headache.
Didn't use the t parts of the seal
Thanks
I was in a bit of an urgent rush to replace the garage door when the tensioner rod broke. The tech informed me they don’t use those anymore and would have to replace everything up top. He also offered to replace the rollers.
This is in CA where admittedly the cost of things is a lot more that national average
I omitted the company name.
To convert this attached single from manual to automatic and replace all the hardware but keep the door. Im located in the northeast.
I currently have an extension spring garage door. The door and parts are ancient so we need to do a full replacement, but I have 4 different garage door contractors give 4 different opinions on what to do.
They are not able to put a torsion spring at the front of the garage (directly above the door opening) because it is open-air. The four recommendations are:
A. Attach the torsion spring/rod to the roof facade beam, which is 2 feet from the garage door opening.
B. Place the torsion spring/rod at the rear of the track (which is kind of in the middle of the garage so we would no longer be able to hang our bikes. We don't love this idea).
C. Place the torsion spring rod, on the rear wall, which is 5 feet from the end of the track.
D. Put another extension spring system in.
What would you do?
Hey good people.
I was thinking about this today at a job. ChatGPT explained to my customer that fixing the garage door is about 30 minutes work, shouldn't "be a biggie" as he called it, and made it sound like it can be done by your neighbour's cat.
A customer might only see a job take 30 minutes, but they don't see the travel time, experience, tools, insurance, and everything else that goes into it (not to mention potential damage!!!)
Do you find yourself explaining pricing often, or do most customers understand? also, did they confront you with "AI said it should be $150" when it's a $500 job?
I feel like it's an AITA post 😂
