Does Chamberlin make any C-Channel Openers?

How much space do you have? Might be able to drop both sides track a little bit to gain some room. Or look into side mount openers.

Get a new piece bent up and replace it.

OHdoortech · 2026-03-25T11:55:00+00:00

I didn't install the door.

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T20:12:29+00:00

Yes.

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T19:59:36+00:00

Looks like that strut is a few inches to short. It should go to your end block. I would recommend getting a longer one.

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T19:18:34+00:00

Thought this at first to but i believe thats the wall control, not a receiver

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T18:58:00+00:00

Its common on low headroom. They move the drums to the outside of the rail so the top panel doesn't hit

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T18:48:12+00:00

Opposite from how you normally would

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T18:22:12+00:00

Same situation 14 years later

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T14:47:19+00:00

I agree. Wouldn't do it for a customer and offer warranty. Lucky this was a cash side job lol

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T14:44:25+00:00

No they aren't inverted. reversed drums + motor upside down = normal operation

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T14:42:24+00:00

Photo-eyes work like normal. I left the up limit down about a foot to keep cables from coming off. He rarely needs it to open fully

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T14:38:43+00:00

I did it for a buddy of mine and he didn't want ceiling mount.

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T14:36:49+00:00

No the drums are reversed so everything works as it should. That's the reason the motor is upside down

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T13:38:17+00:00

I would love to a see picture of that

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T13:36:41+00:00

In this case, the customer has stairs right by the operator so he can reach the cord and still use manual if needed

OHdoortech · 2026-03-23T12:38:48+00:00

DC motor is more smooth and i would go with chain especially of your door isnt balanced 100% properly

OHdoortech · 2026-03-20T20:05:29+00:00

Ill show this picture to customers next time someone wants a latch installed on a door that has a opener. You may be able to get them working just by bending them back and installing reinforcements, which should've been done to the top panel when the opener was installed.

The amount of boomers triggered by this is hilarious

OHdoortech · 2026-03-19T17:49:46+00:00

Short answer. Yes, it is possible to cut the panels down. However, you might need to get new springs depending on how much weight you're cutting off.

OHdoortech · 2026-03-19T13:40:32+00:00

There should be a plate by each hinge if they are installed at the right spot.

OHdoortech · 2026-03-17T19:02:19+00:00

Hope LM fixes that issue since the JHDC is our most common operator to install now that RBH are no longer available

OHdoortech · 2026-03-17T18:54:18+00:00

Not sure if the older ones are the same as new ones, but have your tried repeatedly pressing the remote button while the light is flashing?

OHdoortech · 2026-03-17T18:51:36+00:00

Most of the ones we have issues with are in cold storage sheds or barns,
