Step lid opener - I have found that these are cheaply made. Anyone found one that is all metal components for the step lid opener?

Mine uses a metal rod up to the lid hinge, but the hinge itself is plastic (although the plastic looks pretty thick). I can't see the mechanism by the step, since it's enclosed on all sides.

I have been using this metal trash can for several months without any problems. It seems study & well made. I like the the step lid opening. It opens smoothly, closes silently, & no problem with lid not closing. I purposely bought a smaller can to fit under my kitchen sink, but I take trash out daily. Only problem, I bought the bags made for this can when I bought trashcan & they didn't stay on very well. I bought slightly larger bag size at he grocery store & no more problems.

I would use metal ones, Lowes or Home Depot has replacements, the plastic won't work.

Does your elevator still click? Just get hung up a little? The clicker in mine broke the first day and then we had a problem with the replacement part Plan sent as well. I ended up taking the garage back because I was running out of time for returns and worried about repeat breaking.

Probably your local hardware store ,I think it's called a bungey cord. Bought this caeeier as a gift never opened it untill the party then I was so embarrassed because it was such a bunch of junk I sent it back, and yes with a broken latch,we did it up twice, empty, and it broke. Sorry I can not be more helpful. but here's a big kiss anyway for your pain hahaha xoxo.

if step motors are required`, they` all have the same part number,in the`kit? So,any one that you use will work, My 05`silverado,made no statements as to what stepdriver to use,because they were` all the same? my Panel is fixed now by the way ,tach,speedometer,all`is working fine! took me about an hour r/replace,with new stepdrivers installed.

I made my own and they work well. I went to my local Lowes as they sell bolts, washers and nuts individually not in a multiple bag of pieces. I had some hardwood pieces around so I cut the lengths I wanted, made openings for the bolts and what I made works great. I don't have a need for metal clamps as the Dremel and the press are light weigh. This is just a suggestion, make you own.

Since B&D; makes the opener I would contact them directly. I'm not familiar with the repair parts or process.

Ditto, worked great initially. No one In town knows how to fix mine.My husband watched the lift brushes and noticed they were not moving up and down so he ftled a little bit of the plastic and it is working now.However we wait every day for it to die.

It has been a few years since I replaced my step, but I think new magnet switch came with my step, not 100 percent sure. No problem to install, good luck

I used mine for the steps on my RV, works great and i/3 the price of the rv step motor. But this is little help to you!.

I can see why. I did buy the unit bc it was alot less in $$ than the Boss. The door is so cheap on this unit! I am soooo careful when I open and close it so I don't break it. So far I'm ok but I know it will go some day. Right now I treat it like it's a fine crystal :<) My brother has one also and he uses his with the door open bc it won't shut. If you can't return it at least you know you can use it still.

I looked at the Liftmaster website and found the one that looked identical to mine. The plastic cover was cracked on mine. I ordered the complete control panel. The new one worked better than the old one had ever worked. I don't think you can get just the plastic cover.

Yes, but know that the metal key is imbedded into the plastic. If your just looking for a screw might be cheaper to go to the local hardware store.

No. It comes with everything you need except the drill and screwdriver. It works really well and is easy to take down when not in use. But, you need to install it carefully to be sure it fits the opening correctly and is adjusted top and bottom. Also, if the stairs are is used guests they will always have to ask how to use the latch. We are very hapy with it.

I sent mine back - poor quailty - mine broke tyring to get it together. I am just going to go to lift master and get me another opener.

Just yesterday I found some nicer ones in OSH. They are heavier, more industrial. Sold with the DeWalt name on them $20 each. I will be replacing my Stanley's with the DeWalt's. They stack and lock together. Plus each bin is it's own removable cup. Nicely done....

Thanks for the info! I opened up the housing and found that the plastic pin that forms a 'pivot' for the orange handle was partially broken. No hope of repair without buying new parts. So (like you), I rigged the switch to be permanently on! Still have all my fingers & toes after one mow.
