When you've just bought a home, this is one of the 7 Security Items that should to be addressed as soon as you've moved in: Erase the Garage Door Opener Memory and reset the garage door opener so that all of the old garage remotes and cars programmed to open it will no longer open the garage.
Clearing the garage door opener will ensure that any garage door remote or car that was programmed to open the garage, not in your possession, will no longer open your garage door. Reprogramming a garage door opener is something that is easy and simple enough so that every new home owner can do so on their own.

Brother, thank you so much for this. Our garage door has been opening randomly since we leased this place and it's been driving me crazy. I've been debating if it's the wiring or someone is messing with us. I just tried this and really hope it works.
Thank you. My garage door opener needs a new battery. I lost the 2nd opener so I need to get some new remotes. I was clueless what this involved. THanks.

How do we add more than 1 remote? I seem to program my two remotes but every time i press the remote to open it, the garage only opens it a couple of inches then stops. I have to keep pressing it so it can eventually open a few inches at a time each time i press the button

Ok Robert, question I have the xtreme garage door opener. Went on vacation came back the o ly thing that opens and closes the door, is the outside remote pad. It works fine, but the wall button or any remote does not work. When try to reset a remote it beeps 3 times but does not work. Help....lol
so by doing this it will generate a new code from the opener itself? reason is one of our nieghbors vehicle door fob opens our garage door and this appears to be what i am looking to do to chamge that, correct?......thanks will try it out
how do I add a new one? Do I have to clear out the old one even if its been cleared before. I would like to add new one
This is exactly why I needed this video. Couldn't find my 2nd remote😅 Thank you!

Hi Locksmith recommended, I have an old Sears Garage door opener made long before 1990. I have the Sears remote with it. It is an 8 dip switch remote that worked with my 9 dip switch garage door receiver. I programmed my vehicle to open the door, and now the remote will not work. The battery is good. Its not the antenna or the light bulb causing it not to work. There is no learn button on my garage door opener, and there is no button to clear the code. I cleaned the circuit board on the remote, and that didn't fix it. The dip switch codes are matched. I even bought a universal remote with 9 dip switches which I matched, and that wouldn't work either. The door works with the buttons to the opener and with my car but not with either remote. I am totally perplexed.
This is exactly my situation. New home with missing remotes. Do the old remotes need to be near by to be disabled? or are you actually changing the receiving code in the master unit by your action? Pretty sure I know the answer, but want to be sure. Thanks. I'll purchase two new remotes tomorrow.

Our opener was programed for two garage doors as follows; The large button was programed to work the main door, one of the secondary buttons also controlled the main door, the other secondary button was used to open another smaller door.

You don't need a new remote. Clearing out the system will remove any remote you don't have from the system so the door won't open with them any longer. Then you add the ones you have back in so that they will work for you.
Do you have to do this to each remote? To program it? I have 2 remotes

Just bought a house and it only came with only 1 remote, so this was very helpful! I do have a few questions though: When I reset and reprogram, it looks like it's done 1 remote at a time. Each time I reset to add another remote, will it lose connection to the first remote? Is it possible to add multiple remotes at the same time? Thanks!

I have the same model opener. My garage door opener wouldn't open with my old remote, and I used this trick and I got my door to finally open after 10 years of being closed!

It's weird, I can stop the door in the top position, but when I stop the door in the middle to get some sunlight in, the door crashes to the ground with the opener arm attached. Help if you can.

How many remotes cab I add?
You don't address how to actually change the program for recognized and accepted "codes" by the door opener. If previous home owner gives me 2 garage remotes for the garage door opener but doesn't clear those same codes from their car homelink/mirror control, they still have the same remote codes in their car. So if I then go and clear the remotes in the door opener and re-add the same 2 the previous home owner gave me, doesn't that just re-add the same exact codes back into the opener? Which means the previous home owners car homelink/mirror control still can open the door since it also has the same codes as the 2 remotes they gave me? My idea would be that if you actually changed the remote codes themselves (maybe toggle pins in the remote?) then programmed them to to the garage door opener, that would safely remove previous remote access and car programmed homelink/mirror controls. Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding or if I have a point. Thank you.
@LocksmithRecommended
2 жыл бұрын
Holding your remote up to the Homelink basically tells your Homelink what type of signal to send (i.e. what kind of garage door opener you have). Once you do that you still use the learn button on the garage door opener with the Homelink so that it can sync with the vehicle. So when you remove everything from the garage door opener you are removing the car.

Have you ever heard of a vehicle key fob that has nothing to do with the garage door but opened the garage door. I thought it was a fluke and I had the guy who was there from an air conditioning company to do a maintenance on my air conditioners, do it again and it closed the garage door. He had to go in the house to look at the thermostats and when we came back out I had him use his key fob and it opened the garage door. Has anybody ever heard of that? I think the solution is to reprogram garage door and the remotes unless somebody else has a better idea.
