Very quiet, shorter than my last opener
5 Stars
Very quiet, shorter than my last opener
I replaced my last opener after the gear snapped of its axel. This unit was easy to assemble and I replaced my old unit in about two hours. Fortunately, I have angle iron and had some flexibility to where it's mounted. This is because it sits about a foot closer to the garage door than my prior unit. The only issue with this was the cord was too short to reach my existing outlet. I sovled this problem with a 6" extension cord.All "smart" garage doors are a unreliable, and will stop working with the company decides they are tired of running their cloud service. I use a raspberry pi to make my garage smart. It worked fine with the last opener and fine with this one too. It simply closes a relay to simulate pressing the garage button.
