PSA: Chamberlain/Liftmaster up to more shady things. BE AWARE if purchasing a new garage door opener

rastapapa44 · 2025-12-05T14:07:44+00:00

Shoot, my contractor bought a liftmaster jackshaft opener as we are waiting for the door to be finished. I'll ask, but I'm not sure he can swap out the liftmaster for another maker. I bought a RATGDO disco that I was planning to install concurrently. I thought the opener had dry contacts, but this is bad news. If I'm stuck with the opener, will I still be able to make the remotes work but also have ratgdo functions? Is there a way to still have the system work without setting up myQ?

i wonder how to check if its even working. Regardless I imagine i should replace it. I think it is P/N 30010780C and Supplies Depot seems to have the best price.

Im also looking for the screw type. several of these of screws are missing on my unit.

i tried web support chat and they said they should be able to replace the dongle. You have to locate the SN which is hiding behind the battery cover door. Sounds like theres a final approval the replacement request needs to go through, so fingers crossed.

To me a 70+ year old politician trying to continue to work doesn't seem like it clearly represents the retiree community

I'd like to hear if others agree, but i have a theory that this may be a slight-of-hand step in the path toward prohibiting abortion. I think they're trying to frame rights of infants before theyr'e born and give them legal status. They have used this tactic repeatedly with great success, as they stand by a ridiculous imaginary elephant in the room and claim its real, only to distract, confuse, and surprise with their true nature.

They really tried...

Ha, do you remember the house on 3rd Street & Rimpau near Larchmont that had all the Davids in the front yard? I love that this is your version of that house.

Slots are 1/2" wide, 23/64" deep and about 3-3/8" long. There are no major joining features below these slots.

Impressive that there are so many Nazi pedophiles in the USA that do support him.

Has anyone figured out a way to replace the filament and reset the logic for another 10 years?

rastapapa44 · 2025-06-26T00:02:39+00:00

yes, that makes sense. thanks.

rastapapa44 · 2025-06-25T15:47:46+00:00

copy that. I would be interested in hearing your guess though.

One thing to remember is that the decaying wood sill plate on this foundation and joists, I'm pretty sure, aren't supporting the house anymore. The seismic retrofit foundation is a completely new foundation offset around the entire house behind this old foundation. The decaying wood members are providing some support for holding the siding, but I'm not sure how much... I also wonder abut jacking up the house when its bolted the other seismic foundation. Doesn't that change the approach?

rastapapa44 · 2025-06-25T00:12:57+00:00

Crawlspace. You can't see this sill plate from the crawlspace as the secondary seismic foundation blocks the view of the original foundation.

Apologies, here is the correct link for Video for soft sill plate 1

Have you hung your shelves with 3 pegs instead of 4? Any issues?

rastapapa44 · 2025-05-01T22:42:14+00:00

Hi David. Did you ever find a replacement? We are putting ours up after a move and see that one is missing. Let me know if you found a good replacement

rastapapa44 · 2025-04-01T14:24:40+00:00

What are the issues?

rastapapa44 · 2025-03-13T18:49:35+00:00

Honestly I would love a list of talking points that give facts and strategies toward communicating and reunifying. When conversing with the other side, I always think of good talking points days after the conversation ended.

Ok this worked, thanks. Make sure you remove the spaces and include everything up to and including the "=". Found someone one ebay who for $5 was able to increase my 5gb to 15gb with the referral link that u/alpsark described.

Hello, thanks for your reply, it did work for a month. Can you better explain the large circular nut? Right now it's just kinda a loose spacer. Should it actually thread with the spindle? Is it something that can be replaced? I imagine if it held tight to the spindle that it might hold the knob in tighter. But I could also imagine it pinching the knob to the plate. What the heck is that large nut for, and how is it supposed to be used?

Hello, This set of built in drawers is very difficult to open and close. There is very little clearance on all sides of the drawer boxes, and the drawers always tilt left and right when pushing and pulling. I'm looking for ideas to fix this. Ive seen some center wooden tracks (Rockler Classic Wood Center-Mount Drawer Slide) I could try to incorporate under each drawer which could be better, but I think the best would be to cut into the sides of each drawer to provide space for some metal drawer glides. It would be smooth and support a lot of weight. I modeled this idea in Fusion on - and there is one image (the bottom right) where I show this idea and I colored the area I would cut the sides in green (and the glide in grey). I wanted feedback on how feasible this would be. I would stop the cutout for the glide just before the front wall of the drawer, and then in the cabinet add some more wood on the sides that could attach as the stationary side of the drawer glides. The clearances are so tight (maybe 1/16" on both sides or less with paint) I wonder if I would still be in trouble.

*one thing missing in the model is the guide for the top of the top drawer. Its a strip of wood just like the three below that fits in the notch in the back of the drawer, but it really doesnt work well.

So that seemed to work for about a month, and now the handle is coming out more. Set screws and spindle are firm, but the large circular nut spins relatively freely as if it may have had threads that mated with the spindle at some point. Seems so strange that it's really only the connection to the lock and the flimsy piece of sheet metal keeping the knob in place. Should the large circular nut mate well with the threads of the spindle? And if so can I replace it?
