Well, it's up, and working. Installation was a breeze. The only
problem I had was that got the chain on timed wrong (It was fully
open, the opener was closed, or vice versa.), and it's an incredible
pain to adjust that. The existing rail bolted to the opener properly,
the brackets from the ceiling lined up perfectly, the existing safety
eye things work, the existing wired control works (though it came with
a fancier one, that can program remotes.), the remote controls come
out of the box programmed to open the door (though, of course, we now
have three garage door openers, each of which use a mutually
incompatible opener. Sigh.). I'm very impressed: this is how things
are supposed to work.
