Reasons for Remote Failure

There are a few different reasons, besides needing reprogramming, that may cause your remote clicker to fail. One of which is that your batteries may have died, try replacing them to verify. Another is there may be some damage done to the receiving antennae on the garage door opener. Stand within 20 feet of the opener and try to open the door. If it doesn’t open check the antennae to make sure it isn’t broken, blocked, or damaged. If you do see damage, call your garage door company to come out for repair.

How to Program a Garage Door Remote Clicker

First step is to find your owner’s manual. If you have the owner’s manual it will tell you the manufacturer, the model number, and most importantly it contains instructions on how to reprogram your garage door remote. If for some reason, you no longer have the manual, you’ll have to determine manufacturer and model yourself so that you can look up instructions online.

Most manufacturer’s will have their logo easily visible on the opener itself and often on the remote as well and you can usually locate the model number on a sticker somewhere on the garage door opener. Once you know the manufacturer and model number you can then search for videos or written instructions online which can guide you through reprogramming your remote clicker. Most manufacturers do use similar steps, but they do vary slightly. It may even deviate by model.
