Second Garage door opener

[BigMike]

OK any body know how to get a second garage door opener? Went and got a universal opener and found out these units are all hard wired? No pin board to allow a second opener to be programed or a learn button. I am feeling a large cost here. Anyone have an answer?? Much thanks

[StevenGarofalo]

Give me the Model and Model number and I can tell you how to do it. Thanks

Its an Allstar Brand
Model is MVP
There is no model number on the unit.

the serial umber if it helps is 020300662

Thanks for any help

Its exactly like the house we rented here so I was guessing everybody has this kind of opener?

There's a ROMAC dealer on Rolling Acres Rd. that usually has them in stock if you need one right away. If you're not in a rush, just Google the name/model # and you'll find numerous online sites including Amazon that carry them.

How do they program them? I am usally not this dumb

[StevenGarofalo]

Press and hold the left and right buttons on the remote control until the indicator light starts blinking. When you let go of the buttons, the indicator light will blink two more times and then remain lit. The remote is now in programming mode.


Push and release the remote-control button you want to use to operate the garage door.


Enter a nine-digit random code by pressing the buttons on the front of the remote control. Once the code is entered, the indicator light will blink twice to confirm the code was accepted and saved.

Let me know if this works but instead of random code put in number that works the garage door which should be the same numbers in the first garage door opener.

If this is your model you are good to go.

I bought a small one and they e-mailed me the process (see below). Here is the information on the cost and how to program it:
DoorRemotesonline Inc
888-341-3003
Allstar 1-Button Mini Remote 9931MT 318MHz
Item #: Allstar 318MHz | 190-109391
$19.95 USD 1 $19.95 USD
Shipping and handling: $7.45 USD
Total: $27.40 USD


First, you will have to get the coding switch sequence from the 9931 transmitter. This will be 9 positions, either +, 0, or – in each position. Write these down in the space provided in the manual on page 3, using 1 for +, 2 for 0, and 3 for – as explained on page 2. Then, reset the Allstar keypad to factory, by pressing the on/reset button, then 999#, 999#. To enter your coding switch sequence, press on/reset, 1234 # # 1, then your coding switch setting (using 1 for +, 2 for 0, and 3 for -), then # again. There should be 9 numbers here. At this time, pressing on/reset 1234 * 1 should operate your door. If it does, then you can program in your new PIN code. Press on/reset, then 1234 # 1 new PIN (4 digits) new PIN again, #. At this time, pressing on/reset, new PIN * 1 should activate your door.

Ok tried your suggestion. Held the two buttons down on either side of the one that opens the door on the current working remote. No blinking lights? If it helps I am trying to program clicker brand as a new remote. The current working remote is an MVP. sorry for all of this I am normally very handy have done this in Memphis 5 times as I had a son who couldn't keep Garage door openers!!

Thanks for your patience and help

I'm think you need to program the remote to the wall switch's code...there should be a "learn" button on the wall unit that you press, while you press either the + or - button on the remote, depending on which you want ot use for the door.

Universal openers - like "Clicker Brand" DO NOT work on Allstar Openers.

You have to go to Romac or buy on line to get something that works.

Google - Allstar Garage opener replacement parts.

Here is a link to the manual for the MVP garage door opener we have in our home:

http://www.garagedooropeners.us/PDF_OPENERS/Allister/MVP_Series.pdf

Starting on Page 11 of the PDF file, it has step-by-step instructions for programming the remote and base unit.

No need to apologize. I like to help. The remote that you just bought is that the same remote that I sent you in the link above? And you said your originial remote is a mvp. So now you have to two mvp's is that correct? And you say when you hold down the + and - on the new remote its not going into program mode correct? That's the biggest challenge right now is getting it into program mode once we do that we are in the right track. Sorry for all the questions it will just make it easier.

That's what the I'm writing about is a clicker. Just trying to help and save someone from spending money. Better to try than not to try.

I bought an extra remote from Amazon and followed the instructions in the manual for programming it, using the + and - settings. It worked. See post #13.

THANKS TO ALL I am always amazed at the information the people on the forum have. thank you all I can only hope one day someone has a wine question maybe I can help there!!! :wine::wine:

Thanks to all again

I have 2 new MVP 190-110925 garage remotes along with the manual which I have read 3 times. I don't understand what constitutes a number when I press the buttons in order to enter a code. Can someone explain that? And, how can I make sure this code will work with the opener motor inside the garage. And, will I have to change the program codes on the 2 remotes I already have.

Please understand that I am reasonably techy so this shouldn't be beyond me.

Thanks.

Post number 12 above by salpal gives the link to the MVP manual. Starting on page 11, shows how to program your system. You will need to be in the garage, pointing the remote at the overhead unit in order to sync the codes that youare programming. With MVP, no numbers involved. Just nine random buttons to create a code ( pick a code beforehand and write it down) Example ++000--0+
Hope this helps.
By the way, the original thread is almost a year old.
