No proffesional would install a opener this way ! The door should be down first and then the rail can be connected to the header bracket , You can then raise the power head up onto a ladder and open the door to support the rear before bolting to the cieling ! look at all those parts on the table ! This show is worthless to a homeowner because it tells you nothing of the assembly and setting the adjustments !..you can read a 30 page book or you can call me!
After viewing this video I now Know the Sommer unit is much easier to install than any Chamberlain product. I know Sommer is the best opener available and I now know it is the easiest to install and the one that will last the longest.
I installed the garage door opener according to instruction but it doesn't open fully almost 1 feet lesser. kindly give some suggestions for fixing this problem!
Wow...guys please....do not do what she did, you can get hurt badly. Instead, with the door closed, one guy can hold the opener and the other can attach the rail to the wall bracket AND THEN open the door for spacing.
I open the door as high as possible, but a vice grip below the bottom roller and do exactly what she did. I been doing it a long time and never got hurt. Only thing I can think of you referring to is if she fell off the ladder or the door was improperly balanced and it would hit her arm.
@ThirdgenTa Good idea on putting the vice on the bottom roller. That might work because atleast you have something preventing the door from closing down. But these people showing the video did not mention or show that. You really think people who don't do this for a living will think of it?
sheba106. You never position yourself in any application for potential disaster. So yes, you are right, the door moves, she gets pinched in between.... This is a one man job. I do this every day, sometimes 6 to 8 openers a day, (I wish I was that busy now). I will make a video some day, a safe video, how to install a garage door opener. Putting yourself between a door and an opening is just foolish, and could have been deadly.
@tmonator That's what you get when amateurs install things they're not good at.Never ever install one that way especially with the lady in between the wall and garage door. Freaky stuff.
i remember a similar show like this but they installed a Stanley Opener in 1986 i think it was ...

The safety beams are installed incorrectly on the brackets that snap on the door tracks.

@MrAks10
How is she going to get hurt really badly?
I open the door as high as possible, but a vice grip below the bottom roller and do exactly what she did. I been doing it a long time and never got hurt. Only thing I can think of you referring to is if she fell off the ladder or the door was improperly balanced and it would hit her arm.

Unbelievable that their way of installing includes the woman putting her body between the door and the frame, on a ladder. Pretty friggin dangerous.
