Finally a SILENT Garage Door Opener that locks like a SAFE! - RJ0101

I have two of these hateful things. The jackshaft only pulls the door up, it doesn't push it down. It only allows the door to 'fall' in controlled fashion. That might seem an insignificant distinction but it's important to understand because if the door is fully open (horizontal), there's not enough weight to pull the door down. You have to adjust the door so that part of the lowest section is near vertical so it can pull the rest of the door down. In my case, the door won't "fall" closed unless I adjust the limits so the door blocks about 1' from the top of my garage door opening. I need the full 10' of my opening so this doesn't work for me. As such, I have to have a plunger spring that pushes the door down until it can fall on its own which defeats the purpose of not having something on your ceiling. Additionally, when the seasons change from summer to winter or back, all the tension settings are wrong and the door won't open or close correctly and I have to get out a ladder and re-set the tensions. We get Chinook's here so even during the winter, I have to re-set the tensions before/after. My overhead door guy installed it despite recommending against it. Now I wish I'd listened to him. I want my garage doors to be reliable, I don't want to get out of my vehicle to manually intervene. These (Liftmaster 8500) don't meet that requirement.

use threadlock on the square bolts. they tend to come loose and will just spin on the tension rod. after using threadlock had no problems.

Most of the noise from the average garage door is NOT the opener... it's the door. My Martin door and opener are very quiet. That said, this new type is the way to go!

A very good friend is an Overhead dealer for 35+ years and i help on installs at times. He has brought up points about these , but are doable. The best pointer from him is this, typical torsion springs are a 10,000 cycle spring, about a 7 years normal life. You should ask for a 30,000 cycle ( approximately) replacement cycle spring!!! It's a 10-20 percent upcharge but it's the same labor for 3x the lifespan. He measured my broken spring, looked on a chart to see it's replacement ( they are longer) double checked if it could fit and we installed them. Oh, more hints, 1 turn on the torsion spring for every 1 foot of garage height. 8' high door, 8 turns as a general guide to get started!! Do double check spring balancing, disconnect opener, open door half way and let go. It should stay there if it's correct, adjust accordingly! Oil your torsion spring yearly. Rust makes the spring brittle and breaks prematurely!

Have had a Liftmaster ceiling mount belt-drive unit for a few years. It's dead silent and includes a battery backup. The Internet-connected features have become indispensable. Currently working on a remodel of the garage and plan to add 3 more openers from the Liftmaster / Chamberlain family. Looking forward to the jackshaft / wallmount units for my high-rise / high-clearance doors.

This style is common in commercial applications. Chamberlain is the "residential" unit, Lift Master is the "commercial" units. Same company. I've installed both and frankly, the differences are small if any. Both are great units!

Our current home had no garage door openers, but also finished cathedral ceilings. I discovered one of these garage door openers by accident — and am super glad I bought and installed it. As you stated: easier, quieter, and more secure!

Mines 22 years old and I’m holding my breath. Really enjoyed the video Chris and think I will step up my game. Always enjoy your thorough and thoughtful videos!

We replaced an old chain drive overhead opener with a new LiftMaster model like this and we're very pleased with it. Now at almost a year of use, we still love it. It operates so quietly and smooth, and the deadbolt lock has worked very well. No problems at all with it.

I love these videos, straight to the point and informative, no walking around shooting selfies and annoying intro's. THANK YOU!!

Have been using these for a couple of years and mostly love them. Our single car garage opener does have some issues. Since the door isn't heavy the cable tensioning system sometimes gets less taught with temperature changes. This causes the tension safety device to think the door has hit something while closing and the door raises back up. After some tinkering around we adjusted the door to stop just before it touches the ground thereby keeping the tension cable as tight as possible. Time will tell! ALso the light we have is programmed to both doors thereby only needing on light! Bravo!

Awesome opener, I have same one in liftmaster variant (same exact thing) for years now. Love it. Mines came w/ battery back up so when power goes out you get to open and close the garage way over ten times. Best opener i have ever owned. Everyone I recommend to ends up loving it as well. I paired mine up with super quiet rollers & polymer hinges, you literally cannot hear my door opening or closing, its scary how quiet a garage door can be. Great Video.

I got one of these 4 years ago while rebuilding our home after a house fire... I really love the quiet opening and clear overhead space... This opener really makes a lot more sense... Nice elegant solution

The opener has been in my grandfather's garage since 2019. Good to see it get recognition.

I’ve had a Liftmaster version since 2019. It’s been awesome! We have living space, a bedroom, above our garage and the door opens and closes whisper quiet. I would highly recommend these types of garage door openers.

I have a two door garage. The two jack shafts were nearly perfectly positioned to allow one opener to operate both doors. Works perfectly! A huge improvement over the old openers.

When I was in the market for a new garage door opener, I wanted to get that type of opener until I saw the price. The price is a lot more than a regular opener. I eventually settled on the Genie screw drive opener like I had previously because it was very reliable (first one lasted 16 years).

Just finished installing this unit because the previous one stopped working a few days ago. Thanks the recommendation and insightful video!

Had one installed 10 years ago. Awesome piece of kit. Zero issues.
