In this guide, we’ll cover when and how to replace your garage door opener remote. If you need further assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to help!
Why Replace One of These Devices?
Here are some reasons why you might need to replace your garage door remote:
- Breakage: Accidents happen, and dropping your remote could damage its internal components, preventing it from working properly.
- Manufacturing defects: Issues like remote frequency problems may require a replacement.
- Worn-out buttons: Over time, buttons can wear out. While cleaning or replacing them may help, you may prefer to replace the entire remote.
- Lost remote: If your remote goes missing, it’s important to replace it quickly to prevent potential security risks.
- Upgrading your garage door opener: If you’re replacing your opener, you may need a new remote—unless your new system has universal compatibility or features like Wi-Fi, allowing you to control it from your phone.
What To Do If You’ve Lost Yours
If you’ve lost your device, you’ll want to act quickly in case it falls into the wrong hands. Clearing the opener’s memory will cause it to “forget” anything paired with it. The exact steps for this vary depending on your model. These general instructions may work for you:
- Find the item’s back panel.
- Look for a button labeled “learn,” “pair,” or something similar.
- Hold the button down for several seconds. You may hear a beep that indicates the process worked.
