Several
companies manufacture garage door remote controls and garage door
clicker units. You might think these remote controls are programmed
differently. On the contrary, the principles for each of them are pretty
much the same. There are even some universal remotes available in the
market that can work with the different types of openers.
How to Program Your Garage Door Remote/Garage Door Clicker
Here are simple instructions when programming your garage door remote:
- Take the light cover off your garage door opener.
- Look for the black logic board.
- Press the learn button found on the logic board. The learn button is usually colored red or black. It can be partially covered by a light bulb in some cases. You need to remove the light bulb first if that happens.
- Do not let go of the learn button until the indicator light flashes on. Be patient. Some models take longer time for this.
- Get your garage door remote/garage door clicker and look for its transmitter button.
- Press the transmitter button in your remote, and the learn button in your opener at the same time.
- Afterwards, release them at the same time, too.
- Listen for the click or observe the confirmation flash. This signals that your garage door remote/garage door clicker is already programmed.
- Put back the cover of your garage door opener.
- Test your garage door remote/garage door clicker.
If
this does not work, check if there are specific instructions that come
with your remote control unit. Different models slightly vary so it is
best for you to double check if there are additional instructions in
your manual. There should be some instructions with new remotes and you
may also be given directions on your logic board.
In
case you have broken or lost the remote that you originally programmed,
you may opt to replace it with something that matches the original. But
if that is impossible, then just go find yourself a universal garage
door clicker. This is the most viable option there is when faced with
this kind of problem.
If
you are still having a difficulty programming your garage door remote,
consult with a garage door service provider. There might be some fixing
with the electronics and wiring that needs to be done.
