I went to Home Depot to buy a new garage door opener. It was $35.00 and I didn't even know if it would work. I did not buy it. I came home and ordered this one on line for less than $15.00 and it works perfect. What a great savings.
Thank You
Before you order a replacement remote, make sure to check the back of the garage door motor unit. If you push the learn button, it will lit either green or orange. The remote controls are color specific. I learned the hard away after receiving the remote. The unit came from Sanford and Son Doors. It's not their fault. Amazon's product description does mention about the 2 colors but because of my haste to get the product, I did not read it. In Sanford and Son Doors' web site, they offer free shipping if you order from them. BLNT :(
To verify this remote works with your unit, press the learn button on your overhead unit (remove the plastic light cover on the back side and look for a square button - mine is red). When you press the button the led light will light up. If yours is yellow, then this remote will work for you. I would suggest you immediately unplug and re-plug in your garage door opener to cancel the "learn" mode so that on the off chance that a neighbor is opening their garage door your door opener won't "learn" their code and start opening when they push their remote... but anyway...
Setup is as simple as that, press the learn button, then press the remote button. The unit will click and flash to let you know it is learned. Now the remote will work.
The remote also comes with battery and clip to mount to your car visor.
When we purchased this home there was only one remote for the garage door opener. That's a problem for 2 drivers. We needed a second one and this is perfect. The price beat anything in the local area. Shipment was quick without paying extra. It arrived in perfect condition and works like a charm. I recommend this product to everyone
We were provided with two remotes when we got our garage door opener installed. They were both the Liftmaster 971LM Security Plus 1 button remotes. One of those remotes never did work very well. We would have to press the button multiple times to get it to work. We tried replacing the battery but that never helped. Finally I ordered another one of the same model remote from Amazon. It was very easy to program our garage door to accept the new remote. And this remote works great. I don't know why there was a problem with the original one, or if it is very common to have a problem with this model remote, but we are very happy with the other two.
The Chamberlain Liftmaster Garage Door Opener has been working great. I ordered it from Samford & Sons on Amazon and I couldn't believe how fast it was delivered. I was expecting it to be on the later side of their expected delivery, but it came on the very earliest possible day. I was very impressed with this. The packaging was nicely done and everything was perfect when I opened up the box. I would definitely use Samford & Sons again to order from and I would ABSOLUTELY refer them to friends. I give my experience with this order 10/10. :) Homerun, perfect score, touchdown, Olympic gold, etc, etc.
Unit opened and working within minutes of delivery. If in doubt as to which unit you require you can visit the Liftmaster website and there you will find a range of instructions and compatabilty notes. Highly Recommend unit. - Liftmaster - Garage Door Opener - Garage Door Remote Controls - Chamberlain'
