I watched the airport shuttle pick up my neighbor and then 5 minutes later her garage door opened. I went over there to close it and she had it on LOCK. I had to unlock it, hit close and run out the door stepping over the electric eyes that would stop the closing.
I can't figure out how it could open when it was on lock. RoMax told her that they don't know exactly why but could probably be the new cell phones or other electronics. They offered to come out and reprogram it for about $130.
I would suggest anyone going away for more than a day to unplug the opener.
