Interesting. The Chamberlin Q DC drive unit with door sensors, wall controllers inside and outside and 2 remotes cost $300.00 average. Are you saying they only charged $50.00 in labor to install?

We had that happen when we rented for the month of January. Every morning our garage door would go up and we started to notice the same car leaving the front of the house. We thought it may have been someone who just happened to have the same code and hated the dreaded short term renters and they were just messing with us. Turned out it was the neighbor across the street and he had no idea it was happening. We got permission from the owner to clear out all the codes and reprogram the opener and all was well.
In your case I would imagine it would be best to talk to your neighbor about reprogramming his opener. I don't think the remote can be programmed. Reprogramming only takes a few minutes and ALL his remotes would have to be programmed again. Instructions can be found online. Good luck!

The instructions are available online, and I may have them electronically but will need to check.

Also, I have no idea why the sudden change in the operation, unless one of you where working with the equipent.

This happened to my Allstar opener a couple years ago. I changed the code, and no issues since. My neighbor’s opener started opening at random intervals while they were away. A change of code stopped this for about a month, and then it started happening again. Another erase and change needed. Or a new garage door opener.

Call Romac - They will email instructions for free on how to re-program your wall remote with a paper clip.

I called this number at Romac and she sent me easy directions that worked just fine.

HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.

Don’t know why they put these garage door openers in these homes. They don’t appear to use rolling codes like Genie and other brands.

Only my neighbor’s opener started opening my garage door. We both have MVP garage door openers. I performed the procedure to erase all codes from my door operator and then the procedure for it to “relearn” the code stored in my remotes. Procedures to do this are in the MVP manual and also on line.

Didn’t have to change the 9-digit code (9 combinations of the +, - and 0 buttons on the remote). As a matter of fact, I don’t even know what the code is. Just did the process to erase what the operator had “learned” and then have it relearn whatever code was already set up in my system.

Problem solved.

MVP only has 19,683 combinations of the code. Given the number of the houses in the range of the remote, this problem is not going to go away any time soon unless we all upgrade it to something more advanced :-)

Cheers!

How many houses do you think are within the range of your garage door remote when used from in front of your house? I'll bet it's not 19,000. It might be a few dozen, but likely not more than that.
