If you’ve lost the garage door opener remote control, there are a few things you can do to get your door back up and running. The first thing is to check if it’s in one of your favorite locations on your phone. If it’s not there, then you’ll need to change its battery. This is easy and takes just a few minutes so don’t worry about getting locked out for long!
Step 1.
Step 1. Open the flip-up cover over the wall mounted garage door opener’s keypad. Locate a thin object like a paper clip, pin or tweezers to press down on that button for about five seconds.
Step 2. Press and hold down your remote’s “Home” button until its light flashes twice to indicate it has been set up properly. If this doesn’t happen after you’ve held down your remote’s “Home” button for 10 seconds, repeat steps 1 and 2 using another remote until you’ve successfully programmed both remotes with the new frequency code
Open the flip-up cover over the wall mounted garage door opener’s keypad and locate the small, square-shaped button on the bottom right of the keypad.
- Open the flip-up cover over the wall mounted garage door opener’s keypad and locate the small, square-shaped button on the bottom right of the keypad.
- Press this button with a pen or other pointed device. The red light above it should turn off, indicating that you have successfully accessed your model type code. If it doesn’t work, try pressing another button until you find one that turns off your opener’s lights; this should be easy since they’re all labeled with numbers corresponding to their function (such as “door” or “open”). You’ll use these codes later in order to program a new remote control clicker into your system so that you can open/close it remotely even if there is no power available at home due to an outage or other reason such as having left something plugged into an outlet overnight by accidently–so don’t forget them!
- Turn both remotes upside down so that their buttons face each other then press them together firmly until they lock together securely – just like old fashioned keychains! It’ll take some force but don’t worry about breaking anything because these aren’t made from metal like keys might be…just make sure not too much pressure goes into pushing them together because if done incorrectly then nothing will happen when trying to turn alarm back on again later once everything else has been done correctly first time around.”

Locate a thin object, like a paper clip, pin or tweezers. Press down on the button for about five seconds. Take note of the beeping sound it makes when you release it. The opener should start moving again once you’ve released the button and it’s clear that everything is functioning properly again.
When you hear beeps from the wall mounted garage door opener, release the button and check that the little battery icon has disappeared from the top left of its display screen.
If you hear beeps from the wall mounted garage door opener, release the button and check that the little battery icon has disappeared from the top left of its display screen. If it’s still there, then your battery needs replacing.
If you’re changing a rechargeable battery for an alkaline one, remember to keep track of how many charges your new battery can hold before it needs recharging or replacing. This is usually indicated on their packaging as ‘x’ number of cycles – so if your old rechargeable battery lasts 500 cycles before needing recharging/replacing then look out for one with a similar specification when buying your replacement alkaline batteries.
If it hasn’t, repeat steps 1 to 3 until it does.
If your garage door opener has not responded to the button press, try again. You may need to hold the button down for a longer period of time. If this doesn’t work, you may need to test other buttons on your remote. If none of the buttons work, there is a chance that the battery in your remote is dead or low and needs replacing before it can communicate with your garage door opener again.
Remove the old battery from its compartment located in front of the keypad and replace it with a new one.
