Phanatic Luvr, you beat me to it. We use the little switch religiously, every night, these doors are locked by that switch. I did do some research on replacing the MVP controls, and found no solutions, unless the entire opener is replaced. Also, while I cannot confirm, I have heard of "contractor codes" being used in the garage doors during construction, but if the unit was reprogrammed these should have been removed.
