Review on πŸ”© LiftMaster Screw Drive Coupler 25C20 - Chamberlain Craftsman Garage Door Opener by Steve Atchley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Garage door clutch works great

My garage door opener is about 15 years old. My door was disconnected from the track opener and the door was half open. I turned on the garage door opener to have the device "grab" the garage door to reattach the door to the track and the pressure of the moving track hitting the stationary door caused the old garage door clutch to fail ( You could hear the clutch snap). ). I bought this new clutch, made sure no car was under the garage door opener in case something went wrong (like a falling nut or bolt or falling bracket or the whole garage door opener), loosened a few bolts and held the garage door opener. Motor to allow the motor to tilt, removed the two nuts and bolts holding the rail to the garage door opener motor and unhooked the rail from the opener and I was able to install the new coupler with no problems. I was standing on the ladder with the track on my shoulder (the track isn't heavy) and disconnecting the track from the garage door opener motor definitely made the job easier.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
