I have a Craftsman and my neighbor has a Chamberlain

One on his remotes activates mine... he claims to have sorted the issue out, I'm not entirely convinced. I'm hoping I don't come home to an open garage and missing tools

Craftsman, Chamberlain, LiftMaster and Raynor come from the same folks, the Chamberlain Group.

You need to get the springs, counterweight, whatever, adjusted. The door should be able to stay open on it's own, regardless of whether or not there is even a power-opener attached.

Happy Motoring, Mark
Correct.

Well, you know, I was expecting to see something really cool which is why I come to this site. What a goddamn disappointment.

It was pretty weak. You wonder why the woman in the vid would go along with the 'gag.' Self respect worn away from years of abrasion perhaps.

A semi-famous quote I like:

"Science advances one funeral at a time." - Max Plank

I think that advancement in social awareness might proceed almost as slowly.
