If you think the confidentiality of your garage door pass code has been compromised, it’s time to change it. Lucky for you, newer garage door openers have a keypad in addition to the remote, which makes it easier to change the code. Here’s how you can do this:
- Place a ladder beneath the garage door’s motor unit so you can have access.
- Press the learn button located on the side of the motor and hold it down. Release the button when the light beside it goes out to remove the old code from its memory.
- Push the learn button on the motor again, so its light comes on again. Enter the desired code on your keypad on the garage wall. When the motor unit’s light blinks, it means that the new code has been accepted.
- Press the learn button on the motor once more, so the light on the motor lights up again. Press a button on your remote. The blinking means remote has been programmed with the new code. Success! Repeat this step to program all other remotes.
