Default Garage Door opens when a neighbor opens their garage door

Does anyone know what I need to do to get my garage door to stay down when my neighbor opens their garage door?

I just purchased this home and it is an older home in the Village of Bonita from 2008. I called a garage place and was told I need to have a whole new unit installed which doesn’t sound correct to me.

Has anyone else had this problem!

You need to reset your code. On the wall unit there should be a small reset button. When I did mine I switched which button on the remote I used to open the door which seemed to work. You will need the direction which should be online so you go through the setup correctly. Good luck.

We live in Bonita and had the same problem. The transmitter on the garage wall needed to be replaced. Happened to several other neighbors.

Ours was easy to reset after I found the instructions. You will need to write stuff down for the next time.

The opener stores 8 or 9 codes. You have to clear all the codes and enter a new one.

Reprogram your opener code, you can google how to do it yourself. Get the make and model of your opener and do the search.

Yup, you take out your 9mm and when his garage door opens your garage door you walk over and shoot his garage door opener. It will no longer be able to open your door. Just for a morning laugh 😂

Change the code signal. Look in owner's manual or search on YouTube for video. I have a short extension cord connected to the opener and I unplug, by hand, every night before I go to bed.

Which "garage place" told you, you need a whole new unit?

I had this same issue and I found that the “wireless number pad” on the outside of the garage door was the problem. Once I removed it and reprogrammed the other remotes the problem was resolved.

Thanks everyone for all your responses. Morse Blvd Garage doors told me that I needed to replace the whole thing for more than $400.
Thanks so much!

Call Ryan O'Cull (352) 617 - 0522. Very honest, dependable, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. He has done work for many neighbors and friends. He is extremely responsive. He will probably answer his phone; or, leave a message and he will return your call pretty quickly. BTW-- he was the one who told us that ROMAC installed incorrect springs on our garage door. ROMAC came out and replaced the incorrect springs at no charge.
