My garage door opener operates neighbor's garage door
 

We discovered yesterday that our garage door opener operates on both our door and our neighbor's door across the street. We have tried to re-program our remotes without success. Any thoughts?

Trash the builder opener, go to Sears and buy a Craftsman.

Call the warranty department. They will take care of it...

happened to my neighbor as well....our villas are about 7 years old...he called Romac and they did a garage door tune up and included fixing that in the process

You just have to change the code from the factory default.

Try again. You can do it!

Happen this week to me and Roman came put and
in new codes
no more problems

You need to read your instruction book regarding reprogramming. Some people think that pushing the paper clip into the onwall device and then pressing the remote reprograms. I think all that does is to tell the opener to accept the code from the remote. You have to change the 9 digit( 0,1,Blank) sequence to make the remote code unique and so should your neighbor. Chances are that your remote and your neighbors remote have the same sequence at this time. When we first moved in , My remote opened 4 garages in the neighborhood and mine was being opened even when I was out of town. Thankfully , my neighbors saved the day.
Another good clue is to buy a cheap doorbell pushbutton and wire it to your opener and mount just inside the garage door. When you are leaving the garage on foot, you can reach in and push to close the door , rather than press the code .

when you recode the opener, make sure it is done when no one is driving down the street,
we did ours and it pickup the signal from a car that had was opening their garage door. after changing 3 devices we had to clear the memory and start all over again, it went faster the second time.

Park in your neighbor's garage............see if they care.

:loco::loco:

Huh?

Or start using their golf cart and see if they notice. :smiley:

I would prefer to enter my own code but the book is unclear to do that. Do you push the - and + and - buttons say 3 times for plus and 6 times on minus for 9 digit code?

Get a paper clip and go on Utube and watch.

I did the quick programming with the paper clip. Just wanted some advice on custom codes.
