Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why isn't my garage remote working?

    A garage remote can stop working for several reasons. The most common are dead batteries, accidental deprogramming, or signal interference. Sometimes the issue is with the garage motor itself rather than the remote. Testing with a wall button can confirm if the opener is the problem. If a new battery doesn’t help, reprogramming or replacing the remote may be the next step.

  • Are garage remotes universal?

    Not all garage remotes are universal. Some aftermarket options are designed to work with multiple brands, but many openers require brand-specific remotes. Compatibility depends on the frequency and coding system used by your garage motor. It’s always best to check your opener model before purchasing a replacement.

  • How long should a garage remote last?

    With proper care, a garage remote can last many years. The main parts that fail are usually the battery or the buttons. Storing the remote safely, avoiding drops, and replacing the battery as needed can extend its life. When remotes do fail, replacements are usually affordable and can often be programmed to work with your existing system.
