You can program your garage door opener yourself.
Garage door remotes transmit a signal to the receiver or motor unit of the garage door assembly. The signal must match that of the signal that is programmed in the remote for the door to open and close. Some garage door receivers sync with remotes using just one signal; others use code switches. If code switches are used to sync the receiver with the remote, the code switches on both devices must match up before the garage door will open. If you're unsure if your remote uses code switches, try both techniques to find the one that works properly. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
Program Garage Door Openers Using the Learn Button
1. Find the "Learn" button on the garage door opener motor unit, or receiver. This receiver unit is mounted at the end of the garage door track. The "Learn" button is a black, often unmarked, button. It may be labeled "R." The location of this button varies slightly with each model.
2. Press and hold the "Learn" button until indicator light blinks or will glow steadily.
3. Press the "Open" button (the button that would be used to open the garage door) on the garage door opener until the indicator light on the motor unit blinks. Press the "Open" button again to test the garage door, which should move.
Program Garage Door Openers With Code Switches
4. Press the "Learn" button on the receiver of the garage door opener. When the button is pressed the indicator light will blink on the unit for 30 seconds.
5. Stand about 2 feet away from the receiver unit with the garage door opener. Press the "Open" button on the garage door opener three times. This will allow the receiver attached to the track to grab the frequency and code it in.
6. Press the button once more on your garage door opener to test the garage door. It will now open.
