OT Changing frequency on a Garage door opener | Thread profile

Had to evict some tenants and they kept one garage door opener but I still have another. Anybody know if and how to change the frequency and the code for the keypad entry. It is a Craftsman 1/2 HP. Many thanks in advance fellas!!

Don't quote me on this, but I think you just need to match the code numbers on the dip switches inside the remote with the door unit, don't you?

If you have a fairly new unit (5-6 yrs), look on one side if the opener unit. There should be a small, square, colored button. (Smart or Learn button). Press it once. A small led should light next to the Smart Button. Now press and hold the remote until the light(s) on the opener flash. You have now reprogrammed your remote for the opener.

goos and woodie- I will give it a whirl. it is an older unit but I am driving to FL tomorrow so I am gonna print all the responses.....no internet while I get the house ready for new tenants Keep 'em coming fellas!!

If it's an older unit, chances are good you can just change the numbers [or the pegs] inside both the remote, and on the back of the motor head. Can't help w/ a keypad, never had one, but I'd be suprized if there wasn't instructions on the back of the keypad. Sidenote: keypads are notorious for being "easy pickings" for burglers. They just pry off wall, rip the bell wire out, touch the two ...

....when to open it and when to close it.

Quack, The keypads on the outside of the house are wireless. If it wasn't, you wouldn't want to put it outside. John
