Review on Blue Garage Door Opener - Chamberlain C2405 C2405T Smart myQ App Controlled, Long-Lasting Chain Drive by Charles Palma

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good opener, works great on close pitch installations

Installed two of these in my son's garage, a three car garage that oddly never had a garage door opener. They work great. The installation instructions are excellent and any sane person can do it. See the PDF User Guide link on the Revain page for installation details if you want to understand before purchasing. My installs were at a low spacing - almost the bare minimum - probably because the doors were installed without a ghost-to-ghost garage door opener. The general tips for installing a garage door opener that you can find on the internet should not be taken into account. Instead, follow the installation instructions in the user manual. In particular: 1. The collector holder can be mounted on the ceiling at a small distance (and of course it can be securely fastened). You may read on various websites that you need a foot or two of clearance, but that's nonsense. Listen to the instructions again.2. Some websites give incorrect instructions on how to place the outlet, such as B. "8 feet from the wall and centered" is recommended. Terrible advice in this case. The distance from the head mount to the back of the opener is approximately 11 feet. In a close spacing scenario, when the outlet is centered and closer than 12 feet to the wall, the opener and guide may block the outlet and the cord will most likely not reach anyway. I also suggest putting something prominently on the door. Hand. We hope this will prevent people from hitting their heads or colliding with them in a high clearance vehicle. Cut a 1 inch wide slit in a tennis ball and place it on your arm like I did.
