Default Garage door work

Any recommendations on who to use to install a garage door keypad opener on outside of garage. I've seen many here but don't know who to call.

I purchased a keypad from RoMac the original installer and supplier of the doors. They are located on Rolling Acres Rd across and up a bit from the Villages Woodworking shop. I paid $48 but was told by a neighbor that RoMac often has a sale and includes installation for that price.
It's an easy job...if you don't want to wait for a sale, I'd say go for it.

Cool

I thought the outside garage door remotes were wireless, so just flip a couple switches (to match your unit) and mount/stick it to the door frame.

Is it more complicated than that ?

I believe you can buy the remote from Lowe's or Home Depot and it has instructions on how to mount it and get it working.

Wally World has one for $28.97

Not complicated but no dip switches to set with the MVP opener by RoMac. At the inside door opener you push a set button with a paperclip, then with the new outside remote you enter your 4 digit code...press enter, then you mount the new wireless opener on the outside....all done!
