I have two garage door kits I bought from a liquidation sale. They are Ducati 8500 models but unfortunately no fitting instructions came along with them, or if they did I have mis-layed them. I have had these things for a couple of years now but never got round to try and fit them without instruction. They are the chain driven kind.
Anyone help?
Ant chance of a copy of them please?

I have an older model Alliance Genie garage door opener. I think the model is 440. The remotes only say Alliance Genie on them. What kind of replacement remotes would I use and where can I get them?

I’m wondering if anyone knows the Horse Power of an electric garage door opener needed to operate a older 16×7 wood garage door.

What is better, Belt drive or chain drive? I live in Las Vegas, so cold weather shouldn’t be a problem.

HELP!!

I have a Craftsman garage door opener. My BMW X5 has 3 buttons which you can program to open your garage doors, activate home alarm. I tried both options from the BMW manual to set it to open the garage doors but it doesn’t work.
If I’m too far away…what should the distance be from my car to the garage opener unit when I’m trying to activate the signal?

I was sitting here on Y/A this morning and my garage door opened all by itself. One opener was in the car, in the garage, and the other was about 30 miles away, in the parking lot at the Oakland Coliseum. Should I be worried? Can it be changed, if it’s a frequency issue?

Hi All, I am thinking to buy a craftman 3/4 hp garage door opener with battery backup. I assume the battery will eventually fail. I’m wondering if the opener will still function without the battery or will I have to rush out an buy a new battery right away. The link below shows the model I am interested in: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00953918000P?vName=Tools&cName=Home+Security+%26+Garage+Door+Openers&sbf=Brand&sbv=Craftsman

The rooms above the garage get pretty cold and I want to insulate. I just heard there is a kit for garage doors, but what can be done for the ceiling? And what kind of tradesman does it?
The ceiling is “finished”.

I have a small garage and just installed a garage door opener for its 8′ w by 7′ tall 4-section standard insulated metal-sheathed door. There is no door in case the electric fails/opener breaks down. So I bought a cable release lock that you place in the front of the door. With a key, you turn it and then pull the cylinder out…which pulls the cable to release the door from the chain carrier so you can lift it open.

I say all that just to ask how to drill the required 3/4″ hole through the metal/insulation door panel. I have a 3/4″ hole saw as part of a hole saw kit, but I wonder if that is the correct tool to use on the door panel. The only other option I can think of is to start with a small 1/4″ bit, increasing in size til I get to 3/4″…if I can find a drill bit that large!

So what’s the answer? I don’t want to chew up the door until I know what I’m using will work. The metal seems an awfully thick gauge, and I’ve never used a hole saw on anything but wood before.
I have spade bits, but I didn’t think they would work on this steel door without destroying both them and the door? It is definitely steel sheathed, not aluminum and it was very hard drilling into it for screws for the opener. I’m thinking that wouldn’t work well????
